Digital BW, The Print

I teach photography at a local collage,and the first
thing I tell students is there is a million ways of
getting to heaven.I am not interested in making anyone
a younger version of me.I agree thats its the end
result not operating systems, pixels or f stops.The
incredible thing about the digital world is there are
a million ways of doing things.I never was a tech
head.I was always a Tri-x and D 76 guy.I have used the
same cameras to make a living for basically 35 years.I
do find it sort of ironic that we are roaring down
this digital path,but I find it exhilarating. It has
taken me a bit of time making digital simple,but I
think I have. Francis Ford
