And why is that? Is there also an obligation to pass on the wet plate process and
the daguerreotype? (Yes, I'm being sarcastic, but only a little bit so.) Certainly
the wet processes are going to be around for a while longer, but to suggest that a
computer can't or shouldn't produce "art" prints ignores the fact that computers
ARE producing art prints today, and it also ignores the fact that a great deal of
effort, skill and "art" go into producing a top quality digital print, as well as
into producing a top quality wet print.
