Subject: [Digital BW] Digimagraphy
I have recently joined this group and am little overwhelmed at the amount of mail exuding from it. But
as I wade through the "opinions", I can see that there is a lot of valuable information and I appreciate
that. I am really writing, however to proffer an idea to you all.
This is addressed to all of you that don't know what to call yourselves. The question was asked--what
is the name of the media? The opinions were spouted about what Art is; what a a limited edition is; what
a photograph is; what digital imaging is, etc. But there is not really a definition, yet, to characterize
the difference between the chemical darkroom and the digital darkroom. For those of you who might want an
identity from chemical/darkroom photography, then here it is. Digimagraphy--For those of us that are
digital only, whether it be printers of digital images in the privacy of ones's own home or the commercial
vendors printing on websites, magazines and billboards, you can all be "Digimagraphers".
Digimagraphy is here. No chemicals to handle (inks and what they're made of notwithstanding); Ink vs
Dye; 8 bit vs 16 bit; whether to upgrade... or not; whether you photograph in film and scan vs a digital
camera. In the end it's all digital. On a computer, running software, transmitting over an interface and
composing an image of micro-small dots of color. ...Sitting at your desk.
I'm almost afraid to ask this, but what do you think?
