Digital BW, The Print

Great commentary, Shoshanna. I moved your post to my save file. I value
every darkroom lesson but have no desire for a refresher course.

I don't respect what's going on today, and I'm appalled by the fact that 
everyone who buys a DSLR seems to feel that owning the equipment is all 
the justification required to identify himself as a "photographer". All 
these "well I just bought a camera and I'd like to make some money at 
it" posts are not only insulting as hell to all of those who've actually 
learned their business and paid their dues, but also irresponsibly put 
at risk the photographic record of the weddings, anniversaries, 
graduations, christenings, bar mitzvahs, and other special, 
once-in-a-lifetime events that the innocent and naive may foolishly hire 
them to shoot. The results can be very sad indeed.
