Re: [Digital BW] OT: What to call the prints...

Alan, you never dodge, burn, remove dirt or anything? If it's black and
white, its already "altered". You never
over or underdevelop your negative? You've altered it if you have. These
things are just silly. I do whatever it needs to be what I want it to
be. I sell my works as fine art images, made using photography as my
tools. Anything goes.  If I were to sell journalism photos, that would
be an entirely different matter.
