[alt-photo] Re: "Alternative" printing?

[Loris Medici]

Alternative is (at least, or, if you like; in general sense) something
different from mainstream in my view. (Pretty original interpretation,
isn't it? Hehehehe...) Therefore, "typical digital printing" (inkjet,
lambda, lightjet and such - if I missed anything else) wouldn't
qualify as alternative to me - I mean if that's what those photogs
really do. (BTW, according to that definition, silver gelatin is
slowly transforming into an alternative process. Not quite there yet,
but pretty close...)

Loris.
