Considering the amount of work that Adams did with film processing and in the darkroom, I wonder if he got the same sort of criticisms in his day. He's not a real photographer, he's just cheating using chemistry and special darkroom effects. Real photographers just make straight contact prints off of their 8x10s. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
