Dick, I think you're too modest and hard on yourself. Get a second opinion. Kodak recommends a double fixer treatment. Besides, you still have your negatives from which to make a fresh series of your best images. It all boils down to doing the sustained work. Good work translates into immortality. Remember most of us aren't creating platinum prints. Maybe we need the commitment to photography that Stieglitz and his friends had at the turn of the 20th century.

The rotten stuff is archival. I am afraid of immortality - people would be able to criticize me FOR EVER then. Best get it over quick.
