Couldn't agree more. However, I have a great deal of respect for
folks like Paul Strand, and Weegee who captured "life as it
happens" with a large format that produces a different and unique 
aesthetic in the final product, the print. Not better than. And
certainly not worse than. Just different. And variety remains the
spice.
