[Leica] re: using darkroom

[dnygr at cshore.com (Douglas Nygren)]

I am in my darkroom two to three times a week.  I don't work any faster 
digitally than I do i the darkroom. I shoot digitally from time to time 
and I scan my negatives on a friend's Imacon. I'm learning Photoshop, 
which I think is great. I like the added control. I haven't seen a 
digital photo of mine or anyone else's, however, that has the magic of 
silver.

Black and white silver photos when printed well glow. They are like 
paintings that sparkle from the layers of paint. I think that is due to 
the silver being in the paper whereas with a digital print it is ink on 
paper.  I imagine that as time goes on a different printing process 
will develop (no pun intended) that will produce better results. Til 
then, I'll print my best work on silver and lesser stuff digitally.
