This IS the history of photography, folks. If there is any group that
should be sensitive to the march of technology, it is this group. We've
positioned ourselves, through this list, through our meetings, through
our conversions to various modern technologies, and our constant testing
of materials to continue antique processes (the emulsions mostly) in
order to satisfy a connection to a history and a visceral experience. At
least, that's my take on it.
