I vote for Traditional Photography. Since to limit it to silver would eliminate all color photographers. Traditional photography would encompass all alternative processes since some of them predate silver.
I like the name Traditional Photography... but the only thing bad about it is that the digital advocates could say that there is nothing non-traditional about the WAY they take their pictures, but rather their process in producing the final product. Just a thought...
Phill, only one problem with "Conventional Photography" I can see... it won't be for long!
Whatever it is, it needs to be snappy and not too much of a mouthful!
I liked "Traditional Photography" but I can always change my mind It's a bit 'boring'... Maybe something like "PhotoLudites - the APUG Quarterly of Traditional Photography" (replace "PhotoLudites" with something suitable and snappy.. I can't think of anything!)
Anything with the word "Negative" in it may seem to rule out slide film. Likewise "silver" may rule out some processes that will be of interest. I don't like "Non-digital" either - *we* were here first, dammit!
Out of those mentioned, "Traditional Photography" sounds about the best, but how about a strap line (similar to B&WP's "Any colour as long as it's black (or white)") to spice it up a bit... ...something like "Tales from the Dark Slide" or "We like it wet!"
Frank,
I, too, was thinking about the tag line after the magazine title. I was thinking more like, "Death before Digital."
I should add, for those not familiar with "American Culture", that "Death before Disco" was a popular phrase on tee-shirts when disco music began to dominate radio playlists at the expense of rock music in the Seventies.
