 From the point of view of
history and precedent I certainly agree.

Yet, it remains an interesting philosophical question
in the digital age;
when the decision is not made
when we load the camera,
before exposing a frame,
but after the exposure,
on the computer;
where the so-called "straight print"
from the "negative"
or "transparency"
becomes a tad murky
