Digital BW, The Print

Having come to digital from the world of film and traditional darkroom 
work, I've had a 35-year love affair with black and white imagery and am 
not about to turn control over to an in-camera conversion process. 

Although I live in an area whose spectacular beauty is enhanced by the 
vivid colors that run through it, I still find some of my most 
satisfying work to be that of creating richly tonal black and white 
prints.  Today, Photoshop is my darkroom, and working in it allows me to 
achieve exactly the result I'm after with any given image. 

Changing the camera's settings to the mono mode would do nothing but 
limit my options, and that's something I can't imagine ever wanting to do. 

Between the cameras, the software, and the printers, inks, and papers we 
now have available to us, digital photography has become a veritable 
wonderland of possibilities.  It's up to us to explore, investigate, and 
make the most of them. 

Best wishes,
