Digital BW, The Print

Just some thoughts:

First, if you are happy with what you're producing, don't worry what 
other people think, even if they're famous.

Second, just because someone has a stake in a certain position, it 
doesn't follow that what they think or say is wrong.  To think so would 
be to commit the fallacy of ad hominem circumstantial.

Third, platinum printing didn't die when most photograhers switched to 
silver gelatin papers.

Happy printing,
Peter
