I was in the last generation that learned to draw maps with a pen and pot of ink from a page full of numbers. That craft is now completely lost. Let's hope that wet photography doesn't suffer a similar fate. It is up to us to pass on our skills and the lore of traditional photography to our children and anyone else we can reach. On one thing you are entirely right; in spite of the dire warnings from a century ago, photography did not make painting obsolete, so perhaps there's hope.
