Digital BW, The Print

I don't check in all that often, but it's nice to see the general tone
has come up out of the gutter.

And why should you be the only human on the planet with that answer?
Sounds to me like more of a demand than a want.

Why thank you, how is the view up there?
I'm just thinking, since you mastered the craft of fine black and
white printing at age 13, the first human in history to do so, perhaps
you should just stay in the darkroom. After all, it's "there".
Some of us began working with B&W printing on inkjets years ago, have
spent thousands of dollars on printers, long gone inks, papers,
various drivers, therapists, flowers and gifts for girlfriends
threatening to leave if we don't start having a life, bla bla.
We are all still working and waiting and wondering when all this will
arrive at something personally satisfying and reliable. We also
attempt to contribute to that end, if possible.
And now here you are.
Joy.
