If I have a lot of time (which I don't) and patience (at least I can work on that), I probably prefer to make traditional prints, because there is already a vast culture of B&W prints with all the experience, techniques, tradition, that has developed a language with all the subtleties of its own. Even more importantly, I know I react differently at the emotional level. - - Phong animal > > > Sorry for yet another newbie question. > I have never actually seen two prints side by side. > Doing tomany things at once as usual i,m also starting in large format. > Would you say the difference between the two is such that it is still > worthwile to learn the traditional process? > thanks > simon jessurun - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
