I find that I use everything learned in the dark room for my
digital prints and digital negatives. It is so much easer now than in a dark
room but the lesson learned are important I am now back in the darkroom
making Orotone glass plates but using digital negatives to enlarge on to the plates.
Most all that I have done in the last few years has been digital capture and
creation of digital negatives for printing. For three color gum separations, I
hate think of the work and time it takes with film.
I do still shoot film but more so just for the use of a view
camera and that it take more thought and time. What an exciting time to have the
best of the new technology and the historical processes to create the art.
