    A must see little vid. I too was taught through the premise of learning darkroom work first before pointing the camera anywhere meaningful. I agree that the industry is somewhat asleep with the gun pointed at the foot. Many excellent products are lost from stockholder and bean counter mentalities that take hold of companies in the ever present quest for profits in the moment. My take on the issue.

    “I don’t know what you mean by ‘glory,’ ” Alice said.

    Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. “Of course you don’t—till I tell you. I meant ‘there’s a nice knock-down argument for you!’ ”

    “But ‘glory’ doesn’t mean ‘a nice knock-down argument’,” Alice objected.

    “When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”

    Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
    a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

    I'll remember to use that passage next time I'm on a political forum.

    That was a really good interview! It was interesting to listen to him talk about using lith paper for making a print.

    Makes me feel better about my choice of profession, I too feel that the industry has lost its way, the final print is what rules.

    Oops, misread the title. I thought it was "Nude in the Darkroom".

    Yikes!

    Well then, maybe Nocon can advise Freestyle to stock at least one cold tone paper. But the way things are going, I don't see any more interest from the general public of photographers in this video, than from film and paper manufacturers in servicing a dying breed. Preaching to the choir.

    ROL, Glazer's Camera stocks cool tone paper. I'm local to them, and they're a nice bunch.
