Digital BW, The Print

I consider curve manipulation to be just fine; you are really only
compensating for limitations of film or digital capture, in most cases.
However, I draw the line at retouching things out of existence, for the most
part.  I only did it once, to remove a railing that was so obtrusive that
you couldn't see the objects I was trying to document, but that was a pretty
extreme case.
