True, Eric. I don't think that the suggestion was that there wouldn't be the
opportunity to learn darkroom technique, but rather that it would eventually
cease to be required.

And, I don't know how good an analogy that painting example is...Painting is
in and of itself a form of artistic expression - see, or imagine something,
then use brush and paints to express your vision....photography is in and of
itself an artform....it might be argued that wet printing v. digital
printing is a technique within the artform....their are painting techniques,
tools, paints, that fall from favor...so it may be with wet
printing....perhaps...

Now there's an art teacher who lacks vision. They still teach painting, no?
