Digital BW, The Print

I agree that it is much easier to store negs than hard
drives also.I have only been around the digital world
for about 2 1/2 years.I tend to think some better
solution will come around for digital files,but as I
also said the advantages of digital make it worth the
risk.I was a nay sayer till I realized the great power
of photoshop.I think to many photographers think
unless we jug up a huge 8x10 camera up a mountain its
not photography,thats all dogma.I have used 8x10
cameras for most of my career,but am happy to embrace
the digital world.Francis
