I've pretty much decided to be dual-media, as long as film and chemicals are still
available. Negatives will definitely outlast me and any digital media that I might
create. Plus they tend to contain a lot more information. I guess that's oen of
those things which makes darkroom fulfilling.
BTW, Anyone got a thermal press for mounting prints? I could use one.
They're getting hard to find because the new inks stand up against the heat so people
are using them to mount their inkjet prints just like chemical prints from back in the
olden days of film.
Sincerely,
