But what happens if you take the image on Leica M, archivally proof it to
hard copy, save it on a cdrom? I'm not saying don't do wet photography - I
love it, but there is a place for high end digital printing, just as there
is a place for LF photography, alternate printing techniques etc There are
loads of luggers who digitally print and get great results - BD, John
Brownlow, Tina, Doug, the list goes on. But you are right in saying that the
processes of digital printing would not enthrall your daughter inthe same
way.
