Re: [Digital BW] Reality or abstraction?

Re: [Digital BW] Reality or abstraction?

From the article:

"For the past several years I have experimented with non-photographic 
techniques for creating images by utilizing input through a flatbed CCD 
scanner. No photographs are employed in the process."

I really don't agree that using a scanner makes it not a photograph. You 
shine light on something and record the light the bounces back. Sounds 
like a photo to me...

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
