Digital BW, The Print

Hey All, 

I think the "For Della on Shadows" thread has gotten off thread...so let's start some new ones with subject lines to match....(grin).

  Hey Jesse....

  Just jump on in! 

  Thanks for posting too...even if you aren't digital yet.  

  The cost to entry is pretty small if you have a scanner or digicam or computer....Epson printers are not too expensive and the options of Piezography or MIS/Roark is pretty easy too.  

  Good Luck, 

  Steadman

    Subject: [Digital BW] Re:For Della On Shadows


    I started following this list a few months ago because I was considering a
    digital darkroom.

    After a 20+ year hiatus from darkroom room, I had a company request to buy
    some prints I had printed in college.  I was then "forced" to build a
    darkroom in my house to produce these prints.

    Regarding the luminescence of a print and Della's shadows, I found that my
    tastes in printing have changed in the 20 years and the prints that I have
    produced recently are far better than anything I had done and exhibited
    while in college.  Back then I aspired for the deep blacks and the white
    whites and didn't pay much attention to what was in between.  Now I have
    discovered and am printing the silvery midtones which lend to the overall
    luminescence of the print, which is difficult to describe.  It's like jazz,
    you get it or you don't.  I also have the blacks and the whites.

    I know I am talking about wet chemical process, and I am delaying my foray
    into digital black and white printing until I think I can get the same
    degree of satisfaction from it.  There seem to be too many complexities at
    the moment; like there aren't complexities in a wet darkroom ;).  Meanwhile,
    I will continue following this list and learn from the innovative people who
    are active here.

    Jesse
