Digital BW, The Print

Alan-

I think you miss the point... I agree that whining is silly... This 
is a real opportunity to tell the world how great digital printing 
has become.

Can a challenge be issued? To this clown? Is there a forum to debate 
the issues? That will get wider understanding and acknowledgement of 
what we are doing here?

We are not just photographers and printers... it may sound pompous, 
but we are all zealots for a revolutionary new process that is 
advancing the art and craft for all photographers (not replacing, but 
advancing).

Can we come out of this with something postitive???
