Digital BW, The Print

Look I'm not knocking film, I shoot it for my work becasue I happen to
have a drum scanner and can't afford a $30,000.00 back. I'm just
facing reality and this is a digital imaging site, not a "darkroom"
usergroup, if such a thing exists anymore.

No, those great photographers (and you know absolutley nothing about
Adams early work and the contributions he made if you think of him
only as a popular photographer) would be talking about this issue
heatedly, everyday, you bet ya. In their time the issue was whether to
shoot large format or 35mm and tri-x. I'm old enough to remember how
they wrote whole essays on such topics as that. The use of digital
capture is not about "smoothness" or grain. It has to do with a
completely different way of thinking.

I don't think "a single one of the photographers" that were mentioned
would have taken part in this discussion. They were photographers,
they made images, they found the images of others interesting.
