Where I can reduce the number of variables to a manageable set, my eye beholds a difference between prints where the original was 35mm film or medium-format film, 35mm film or DMR, Kodachrome or Provia, and numerous other comparisons. Some others have told me they perceive no difference, and many more in blind comparisons see the same differences I do. Some people are simply more perceptive than others. When I'm making photographs, I've eliminated the photographer, lighting, subject and processing variables. When I use different tools, I see different results in my prints. I'm not comparing my prints with Salgado's, Tina's or anyone else's. The differences I see are in my prints.
