Or is that question oxymoronic? (You know I've read your book because you generously awarded it last year as a prize for grammar.) Fondly Don Sweet But to answer your question, actually, IMO, opposition is by definition naive. Ipso facto. Tho I suppose some folks might consider this discussion offtopic.... To conclude with a nugget that's on-topic, however, I mention that I spent a good part of this afternoon going over a series of tests of Vandyke Brown with a friend who's assisting another photographer in a VDB project. What we established was that a drop of gold toner in the emulsion and gold toning have a much better effect (that is, more of a color shift to warm) when the print is exposed 3 days after the paper is coated than same day. The other thing is that NYC labs know diddle about film control and have never heard of such a thing as a densitometer. J.
