[alt-photo] Re: "Alternative Printing": Terms to define

[Earl and Patty Johnson]

To get back to the original thought, is it only the print that 
categorizes it as 'alternative' or 'alt-process'? That seems to be what 
I am hearing from most of these posts. While this is a useful limitation 
of the scope of an imprecise term, it leaves out some of the work that 
has long been included in the alt-process category. Pinhole 
photographers and wet-plate practitioners (I'm sure there are others) 
whose prints do not fit the definition might object to being left out.
