Don't be so bloody silly.
Why is it when some people find themselves on the wrong end of a losing
argument they have to resort to the 'how dare you be so insulting' mode.
Nothing that I have written was or is intended to insult or offend. If you
find that my comments are filling a few gaps in your ignorance then fine,
Grow up.
What is the crack "If you were a student of photography" supposed to
accomplish besides being insulting? I fully understand all about "darkroom
technique", I've been taking and printing B&W for 30 years or more, I've been
all through 'dodging', 'burning', etc. For you to imply I don't know anything
about photography is insulting. I was merely expressing my 2c, which was
labeled as such, with regard to the FACT that a lot of people don't realize
what many hours went into AA's work to get the final print, AND _my opinion_
that his work was more "artistry" than straight photography. These are _MY_
opionions, and were labeled as such.
Some of you will never get it, that you can't lecture people for having their
own opinion, even if it differs from yours.

Darkroom technique is as much part of photography as anything else, some
would argue that it is probably one of the most important areas of real
photography. If you were a student of photography, you would almost
certainly find that at least the first year and probably a good deal longer
would be solely on B&W and darkroom practice.
