Re: John Sexton's comment on B&W print

2005-08-20 by Tom OConnell

I imagine that John Sexton wrote his comments on a typewriter... I'm 
sure it was the very BEST typewriter...

There is little doubt he is at the top of the craft of wet darkroom 
printing... and that what is being done now IS THE TOP. When was the 
last time you saw a significant innovation and quality enhancement in 
the darkroom? When did you last see a digital improvement???

John it at the top of a technology that will soon be valued for it's 
scarcity not unique quality. Photography is undergoing a change as 
important as the move from glass plates to film. If you don't embrace  
change, it will roll over you. period.

cheers,

Tom O'Connell
