Digital BW, The Print

This thread is making me feel nostalgic.  It has been a few years since I have worked in the darkroom.  Haven't used strictly black and white film in a long time.  I agree with Paul in that I find it much better and simpler doing print manipulations on the computer.  But...there was definitely a bit of satisfaction working with in the wet darkroom.  Just think what the past print masters would have accomplished with today's technology.  Now it is up to us to continue their legacy!!  We have the tools so let's not drop the ball..!!

It felt great to mix fresh chemicals and develop a roll of film today.
There is still something special about looking at a film negative with a
loupe. 

On the other hand, the digital tools have brought my prints closer to what I
see in that negative than I was able to do in the darkroom with a direct
negative-to-paper print.
