Robert,
I know. But I won't.
To use Photoshop to fix up things is so powerful and tempting,
especially when you have some friend like Mark to show you how to do
it and to scan the negs for you. But, call me old fashioned, there is
something precious about taking the risk of losing the negative in
the darkroom, something genuine. Yes, you can do practically anything
with Photoshop, including a show of apparent spontaneity and chance
(and I love using the software). But with some of my photography,
it's most definitely not the result but the process that's important.
The process of discovery, and risk taking. The Photoshop safety net
changes all that.
Sam
