Digital BW, The Print

not really true what you said below.....with glop and ut2, and kirkland 
paper, they stand right up. I think they can do both looks. Plus, who 
really wants to head to the darkroom? If you do this as a hobby, you 
dont want to be shut off from the family for hours talking thru the 
door. I do like the matte paper look, but only when it's under glass. 
Sometimes there is nothing cooler that a photo stuck to the wall with a 
thumb tack...... That would be an old fashioned glossy print.
I do appreciate the point you made though. I know there is a huge 
school of thought that goes your way. Take care, Doug M
