Why is it that it has to be something you/someone approve of to be
interesting to the photographer, or to the other members of the club. There
are others on this NG that also seem to think that they are the ultimate
judge of what is a good/bad photo/technique/crop/subject....etc...
Just smacks of elitism and makes this group just that much less interesting.

What's not interesting about naked college girls? ;^)

So, where do we obtain books on creating
our own paper emulsions for paper & glass?
That seems about the only way the craft will survive
the next 2 decades. (and I'm serious!)
Here's the future that I dread:
Clubs of people in their 50s learning to mix chemicals for paper and plates.
They shoot a few shots. Make a couple of enlargements. Show them off to
their friends and grandchildren. Then drop it because now they've fully
experienced chemical photography.
The grandchildren ask why it took so long to print. Is their
computer/printer that slow?
Then he shows the kids a negative, perhaps also a roll of unshot film. They
wonder why anyone would want to wait for pictures or do all that work? And
it smells bad, too.
Every two or three years the club membership turns over. All they do is a
bunch still-life shots of fruit baskets and a few nudes of that college
girl.
Nothing really intersting. Just prolonging the craft's life.
Sort of like those oil painting groups of old ladies.
jmnsho,

This will make photo processing more expensive, as complying
with government regulations always costs more than it is worth.
As the price goes up, the volume will go down. This will make
the entire industry less profitable, and will probably be the
beginning of the end for silver imaging.
