Mark,
Thanks for the reply.

I constantly shoot, develop, print, and exhibit, but I never post.
I just ordered a scanner, however, so that may be coming.

To do digital well, you have to work at it, just as you have to develop 
your skills in the darkroom.
I simply don't have the time to learn to do it well.
In the darkroom, I spend a lot of time making a print look good. I'd 
rather have one good print than 10 mediocre.

At the moment, I'd rather spend my limited time in the darkroom rather 
than in front of computer.

When I have more time, I'll begin to master Photoshop.

In the mean time, I'll continue to enjoy the darkroom. I especially 
like developing film. I plan to master scanning  negatives and then go 
on to Photoshop. I like the control Photoshop provides, but I need to 
master it.


Doug

Great!!! lets use the urls to your galleries and we'll see if we can 
tell
the difference between the scans and the captures!!

I gotta say I hear a whole lot of mooning about the wonders of film and 
its
all theoretical. You just never see the stuff.
A results orientated photographer who shoots film I'm impressed with.
I'm not impressed with theory and verbiage.

Some one who's making scans every week from his/her film and printing 
and or
uploading it. If its a work Flo they can stand and afford then good for
them. I know we have one or two on the list in that category. But not 
much
more.
