Back to Film

When we toured Clyde Butcher's place, we saw various versions of his photos and his son-in-law who does his darkroom work, showed us the simple dodging and burning tools and various prints resulting therefrom, including some prints rejected by the master. Many of the visitors were totally unaware of the entire film process.
 
No argument with regard to fine art photography or studio work. Photo manipulation has its place, agreed. Done plenty of it myself on images made in a studio or for artistic effect. My issue with digital imaging is strictly from a photojournalistic point of view. The temptation has likely been there to manipulate the image both at the scene (look at Matthew Brady's history!) and in the darkroom, but the advent of digital imaging has made it much, much easier to do so.

To quote a pal: "Is it talent and timing, or just a truckload of kick-ass software?!?"
