Digital BW, The Print

I think there's a lot to be said about it being valued for
it's unique qualities also. Much in the same way Platinum,
Carbon, Cyanotypes and others are valued for their unique look.

Exactly. As the capture medium is changing so is the printing
and presentation. The look of a contact printed plate is 
different from an enlarged negative. Digital printing simply
provides a "new" way of printing an image. It's not the same
nor do I think it's intended to be. We can make digital prints
that "look like" all of the older processes but they are not
the same and frankly I don't think they should be. Viva la
difference.
