Digital BW, The Print

Letter to B&W Magazine.....

Gentlemen:

I sat with brow raised after reading that your magazine would not be 
publishing digitally produced b/w images. That is extremely 
disappointing and short sighted in my opinion. Does that mean that 
B&W will not publish this year's Pulitzer Prize Winner? Or winners in 
the future? Have the publishers looked to see how many new film 
cameras the manufacturers have introduced this year? Digital cameras?

Good photography must transcend the bounds of the medium. Capturing 
an image on silver halide particles or silicon chips is irrelevant. 
The message and artist's vision is what is important.

I can no longer subscribe to a magazine that is short sighted and 
will not consider any new medium without considering the art.

My sincerest apologies.
