Standing in the dark, engulfed in acrid aromas watching an image immerge
under dim yellow light is truly an experience; however, I more enjoy the
expressions of understanding viewers with whom I have successfully
communicated an idea through a visual medium.  It therefore makes me no
difference wether I use a wet chemical process or an electronic process.

I was a very successful motion picture cameraman and when video tape
(electronic capture) started replacing film,  I had principles.  I stood my
ground...no inferior technology for me, I must have the superior quality of
film.  I do not wish to continue the story, but I will say principles do
require a great deal of spice to become eatable.

As a hobby, please feel free to coat glass plates if you wish, but as a
means to communicate please do not say that there is only one way to produce
the expression of your vision.

This is a Leica  group and it should stay with discussions of that subject.
But if, as I have seen over the past, almost anything creeps into the
discourse I see no reason not to have said my 2 cents.


Happy snaps,
Steven Alexander
