Digital BW, The Print

I still shoot film as well. But not every job is a fine-art job.  One 
advantage of simulated grain is that I can shoot digital then select the 
type of grain I want to use, the intensity of it, etc. If I want, I can 
use different settings on different images.  The world is neither all 
film or all digital. And I don't run around telling people the shot with 
simulated grain were shot on film.  It's simply another effect.
