Digital BW, The Print

I accept your take on it. I understand it as something some people like
others don't. I just get irked when I hear comments making a photograph
less than "something" because Photoshop was involved one way or the
other. I can't understand any kind of censorship on an art form. If you
are reporting reality that's another story but certainly not the case
here.

I've been intrigued by David's work for a while. I first saw his work
not too long ago (a couple of months) and found interesting that all of
the sudden it showed up here.
 
It looks as if coming from a Hasseblad Xpan and Kodak Techpan but it
could be any number of different systems. I've done a few "panoramas"
like that using a simple Fuji GX680III and cropping. I would use a 617
but it's not easy to get those negatives scanned.

Gus,

It's as relevant as someone wants to make it.  What's relevant to you or
irrelevant to you may be very important or completely unimportant to
someone
else.  It's someone's own business what's important/not important to
them.

Why I asked, is because the small images looked very un-natural to me,
so I
wondered if they had been manipulated.  The larger images are much more
natural looking to me.  I know that I'm not a fan of very unnatural
looking
images, whether they are massively manipulated images or not.  That's my
personal taste, and certainly doesn't have to be anyone else's.
