Digital BW, The Print

Yep, on most of my shots I am after the cool whites and the cold blacks 
- very slightly to the deep purple side.  Oriental was wonderful for 
this as was the Zone VI paper. One of the most striking exhibit I 
remember seeing was of nudes toned to a very cold tone. The subject and 
the tone of the prints had a distinct emotional impact. I asked the 
photographer about it and he said the trick he used to get that tone was 
very concentrate selenium toner.
