Digital BW, The Print

Paul's right, of course.  In the end there are very few processes that, in the right hands, can't turn out artistically excellent results.  At the end of the day, all art must be judged on it's artistic impact, not on it's science.  Photographers are, by their nature, are prone to forget this.  I know first hand, how easy it is to sometimes lose sight of that.

Steve,

Congratulations on the Licentiate Distinction.  I had missed the original
posting.  It's great to see that the digital B&W output is making the grade,
but there is no doubt in my mind that it was the artistic merit of the
images, not the ink, that garnered the award.

Paul, I don't know if you ever saw my post a few weeks ago regarding
my distinction with the Royal Photographic Society.  In case not, I
will post again a small section that I wanted you to read :


>>> Well, in Cambridge this afternoon I was successful in achieving a
Licentiate Distinction from the Royal Photographic Society!
Thrilled to bits as I have spent several months putting everything
together. I chose a panel of 10 B&W images, mostly taken with my
Fuji S2 and digitally printed onto PhotoRag using VM Ultratone inks
and Gen4 black. One of the assessment judges passed particular
comment on the print quality, saying how hard B&W can be to get
right. I think Mr. Roark also deserves this pat on the back as the
system makes the print! <<<
