Steve, could I get some clarification (or discussion) on exactly what the
scope of the list is? Sandy King's and other posts make me think it's not a
bad thing opening a discussion of why we do altprocs. Like to get some more
about Pictorialism, why it was abandoned, why it came back. A specific item
might be the famous Mortensen/Adams debate, which i've read (i think
Mortensen actually wins the argument, but loses when we compare his work
(mostly Kitsch) to Adams'. People seem interested and have stuff to
contribute. It seems specifically appropriate to this list.
