OT? Am I crazy?

2008-03-28 by the_des_bois

Hello,

This might be OT... but hey... 

Am I going crazy? 

I started photography in 1986 with the classic Nikon FM2 and Tri-X.
Wet darkroom etc. Love at first sight.

Now with digital... I find it very easy to create color photographs...
until I get to the printing. I never seem to like the output.
Calibrated monitor, custom profile for printer etc. Gloss I don't
like. Matte paper always. I just hate having to fiddle with the color
adjustments and color filters etc.

Am I already an old school old photographer at 38? Why is it that
whenever I set my printer to color again, full of hope, I get pissed
in a couple of days and want to throw the machine out the window?

Then I come back to pure carbon printing... QTR... simple, elegant,
reliable... and I calm myself... until my next color crazy moment...

Am I the only one?  ;-)

Denis
