It's part of my pallet. I use medium and large format more often than I 
do 35mm, and they avail me to negatives that are large enough to contact 
print. My first love is pictorialism; or as it's sometimes now referred 
to, neo-pictorialism.  Why? I don't know what to say. I love it. BTW, I 
do know about digital printing, and it certainly has its place. I think 
of it as being closer to photogravure than silver printing. I've seen 
some beautiful  stuff done digitally, and I'll have no problem making 
use of it if the time comes that I feel it can help my work.
