Anyone who knows me from this and other groups knows that the image is primary with me but I do love to know those kinds of things. I love to know whether the developer was Rodinal or D76 or Xtol or some homebrew split process. Like with movies, I'm now the guy who sits watching the credits, because most times I know some of the people who roll past. Ah, so and so was the casting director. It's kind of the same with pictures. That's a wonderful print! What is it? A 1270 on Somerset Enhanced! Oh, yeah. I think it's just the attitude of a producer as opposed to a consumer. As for collectors the techinical details of the medium can be important for how the image is curated. - -- Johnny Deadman http://www.pinkheadedbug.com
