Digital BW, The Print

I find your views on this very interesting. Having focused on Black and
White photography "after" gaining experience digitally I do not get hung up
on the "is it digital/manipulated?" pro's and con's. I just shoot what I
like and then if required I edit it in Photoshop. Always having the thought
that I can remove or fix what displeases me later.

As you have a more traditional photographic background I'm curious, did you
first take offense at what editing skills photoshop offered when you were
first introduced to it?  There has been so much debate in the magazines and
on the web over the years about the manipulation of "pure" photography and
whether it renders it unacceptable to some groups of people. Did you feel
that way at one time and change your mind... or were you always open to new
ways to interpret your work?
