Digital BW, The Print

I never enter into these discussions and have been sitting back and
following this thread for about 24 hours.  It is very interesting.  Doesn't
it come down to the fact that people will purchase a print when it moves
them, it has energy and they fall in love with it?  My guess is that if
there was an image that I couldn't take my eyes off of or kept coming back
to, I would purchase it regardless of whether it was silver based, platinum,
or printed on an ink-jet.  Yes, I would want to make sure of a great degree
of permanence because I wouldn't want it disappear before my eyes, but any
art will degrade some over time.

When somebody INVENTS a reason why inkjets should be 'collectible' as 
silver base, then they will be accepted. Money, Rarity, Archivalness,
luminance, tonal qualites, all have been successfully argued down in 
this thread. Inkjets are a different medium that photography is used 
to, so different rules will be invented to apply. We just have to 
invent them. interesting.
