You're still allowed to have a darkroom. There's no law that says a
digital shooter can't do some film work. Do you still have your
darkroom equipment? Set it up and get to work.

I find it interesting that so few people seem to pine for the film
process
after they become aware of and appreciate the advantages of a digital
work-
flow.
I still pine for my darkroom, shooting portraits on 6x7 FP-4.
I miss using my Tachihara, the thrum of my JOBO.....
The quiet hum that my coldlight makes when first warming up.
I miss the magic of watching a print come to life in a tray of
developer.
It's not a tactile experience anymore, and that was a lot of the
enjoyment I
derived from this photography thing.
I guess count me into the minority.
Whats a good inkjet printer that will handle making an 11x14 inch
print,
that has a decent monochrome inkset.
The thing can be dedicated to monochrome, I can get my colour printed
on
real photo paper.
