Says the guy who was given a chance to show us proof of the pudding but backed out of the print exchange because 1) he got the impression he couldn't send digitally made prints and he wanted to do that and 2) he doesn't figure he can have a darkroom for another 5 years. He's a bluff. But we've all known that. > (Me? I do analog, cannot figure out digital, Make up your mind, will ya? You pulled out of the print exchange because you could only participate with digital prints. Now you can't figure it out. I have a feeling both were true (you could only print digital and you didn't know what you were doing :-) ) > Second, let us not pour urine on an enquiring mind who wants to get into a > chemical darkroom.
