At the end of a presentation on photography, I was sharing some of my projects with fellow photographers. One of them picked up a platinum print and asked what type of software I used to get the brush stroke border around the picture. That question kind of set me back, but I answered the brush strokes were made by a brush.
That exchange got me to thinking that we are now sharing the photographic world with an ever growing number of photographers that have no experience with anything other than digital capture and output. It is as if the first one hundred and fifty years of photographic processes no longer exist. Our photographic world is so far down the digital output path that wet darkroom prints (and especially alternative process prints) are not even recognized by most photographers.
