And working with the image going through several sheets of paper and spending and hour is often going to take you in an unexpected direction. Which you expect is going to happen. And again years later when you "perform" that negative or capture again you can change your mind on it. Some people for some reason wish that is not the case. You wonder if they'd ever printed in a darkroom. I honestly feel that the true art of photography (for me anyway) is in post-processing. It was that way from day one that I did darkroom work starting in the late 50s.I agree with Mark wholeheartedly. Sometimes I start out with an image I like, but after reviewing it and doing some work on it, I change my outlookcompletely and go way into left field. Often it isn't until the final print which looks very different fromn what I initially saw on the computer screen, that Iachieve what I wanted, or pre visualized.
