Yes and I'm not entirely retro. Digital has very many advantages and I'm moving that way myself. Perhaps I should explain that when talking about the advantages of film and silver printing, I am talking exclusively about black and white. Colour prints are always going to be about ink and so there, digital must have all of the advantages in terms of manipulation and enhancement. Chemical colour printing was always a messy muddle and only trannies were worth while.

For me, the real magic lies in the inkless reaction under the safety light. It is pure magic when the image swims up and then is fixed. A grainy chemical print can be really beautiful, but a pixelated digital one is just dotty.
