I agree with you.
I disagree with you.
I just don't know.
What YOU are doing works for YOU.
But for me ? It isn't a theoretical problem, it is a REAL problem.
I CAN do it. It is a process with POTENTIAL, like energy in a capacitor, but I don't know whether I can realize the potential.
For me, I CAN learn to do it, I CAN do it, but the process may not fit my NEEDS.
It is NOT about the process, or whether YOU can get what you need from it.
It is, for ME, about ME.
Or rather, it is about being able to serve my clients in a timely fashion.
I admire your work, I admire Lightfarm. But I'm just a working hack compared
to you. If I couldn't serve my clients on their terms, folks who aren't art buyers,
normal folks who think they are just getting pictures from me,
not objets d'art, I would go mad trying to make up emulsion
the day before a shoot. There are several wonderful processes that are not suitable
for my blue collar, workaday photography. I don't know that Emulsion is suitable, or is it not.
Whether I'd want to coat paper with emulsion, and whether it is possible';
these are NOT the only questions. Is it VIABLE for an individual's needs is the BIG question.
