I spoke to Bruce on a recent trip he made to Portland, and someone else present 
brought this subject up.  Bruce was just as he comes off in this statement, and, 
although he has many good points, his objectivity is severly skewed by his devotion 
to the wet process. I've always greatly admired his work, but I have to say my 
admiration was diminshed by this encounter. It's a bit sad to see someone like him, 
along with Burkett and a few others, in the posture of street corner preachers to an 
increasingly less interested crowd of passers-by.  Oddly enough, there were 2 prints 
on display, and I had to say for all their "radiance of a finely crafted silver print" they 
both could have been improved upon in a digital workflow...
