Re: I feel like Mike Johnston

You're right.  After I take 36 (well, actually, about 38, 'cause I can 
stretch film and get those extra couple of frames out of every roll) shots, 
I rewind the film into the cannister, and take it to my lab.  I then say to 
the owner, "Hey, Rob, develop this with contacts, and I'll be back in a 
couple of days to look at them, and decide which ones I want you to print 
up."

I guess my point is, for some, taking the photograph is quite close to the 
end of the process.  For others, it's only the beginning.  Lots and lots of 
Great Photographers have had little to do with the development/printing 
process, other than to give the film to the lab, and have their personal lab 
guy develop, then do up prints of the "keepers".

That's not the point, really.  The capture of the image doesn't end when 
you
trip the shutter; that's almost only the start of the process.  So, given 
the
latent image on the film (or in the memory), how can one best complete the
visualisation?  <snip>
