[alt-photo] What does it matter how the negative or the image are made ?

It only matters if the process affects the appearance of the image. 


My own approach in photographic terms is that some, but not all, alternative processes have a quality or beauty that is worth preserving. 


If one becomes obsessed with the process rather than the picture the raison d'etre of doing it at all disappears.


It is a waste of time making platinum prints that look like silver gelatine prints or three or four colour gum prints that look like inadequate C Types.

Terry, surely the print is just the physical manifestation of the image so
why does it matter how it's made?

This is alt PROCESS and for some of us it does matter what that process is.

Hello Geoff


Surely the negative is nothing more than a tool.  If it does it does its job
in making the print does it matter how you make it?
