Digital BW, The Print

While there is something to be said for traditional prints, when it 
comes right down to it - it is about the image.
Edward Weston could have coated toilet paper with emulsion and printed 
on it and it would still have been
a spectacular image. The art world is full of fads and people protecting 
their turf.  

No amount of tricks - digital or chemical will make a bad image good. 
And a spectacular image will be spectacular - even if it is
printed on with quad tone inks - or worse yet in black and white using 
color inks with a green shift.
