Digital BW, The Print

It's been interesting to me to read this thread about Ansel Adams 
darkroom technique.  Clearly I don't understand the F64 club.  I had 
thought it was a reaction to pictorialism - a more painterly type of 
photography which won A. Aubrey Bodine so much acclaim and award in 
Salon competition.  My naive understanding of F64 was "shoot and 
print".  So it's evidently more in the kind of darkroom manipulation, 
rather than the degree.  Cool.  These guys certainly achieved their 
purpose of proving that photography can be an art, not just a craft.
