"I agree with most of the points in the article, but the biggest waste of time is spending countless hours printing and reprinting a piece of junk negative that never should have made it past the contact sheet. Many people become enamored of the tools and the process, but sadly, have nothing to say, and therefore, nothing worth printing."
Couldn't agree with you more Steve - I'm suprised the pyromaniacs have any time left to take photographs at all what with all the time mixing, playing with the densitometers, arguing about how bad TMax 100 is - it doesn't work, yes it does, no it doesn't, yes it does.... - perhaps most just work with one negative?
All we need now is a nice long thread on the Zone System and N- development and what zone to place my black and white cat in....
And I think you're right - most of the good/great/fantastic pictures that have something to say never seem to use either pyro or the zone system! :-)
