Digital BW, The Print

Hey Mark I know what you mean, and certainly I don\ufffdt like adding
kitschy-factors to my photos either, but to be honest, I cannot really see
kitsch about a simple black and slightly irregular border. I don\ufffdt talk
about curled, flower- shaped sh**, just these 4 black lines. I don\ufffdt like
photos without the border, but the thin, technical one isn\ufffdt to pleasing to
my eyes either.

But well its probably not really worth a fundamental discussion. Maybe after
23 black "darkroom style" borders I am getting sick of it. So what.... then
I will have enjoyed 22 nice fake borders.

BTW, it was not HCBs own Mac, but the guy\ufffds who was working in the
publishing house. By the way HCB has a lot of humour.

cheers,
Bernhard

Oh...My...God........The horror.

If HCB was there with his PowerMac, then I guess we have the
definite, ultimate endorsement of the digital age.

I *was* kidding (somewhat). But not really. Obviously, it's a free
country, but there's this kitschy-factor about those software
programs. I probably am some old
stick-in-the-mud-wannabe-purist, so I don't want to say yes to
these newfangled sissy programs.
