[pure-silver] Re: Becky Lynn's darkroom

DEAR BOGDAN,
        I agree wholeheartedly!
        I guess I have a different perspective from some.  Photography isn't
my "hobby".  It is my passion and my art.  I have been a working
photographer for 35 years and it has been my only source of income for the
majority of that time, whether from the sale of my prints or from commercial
assignments.  My darkroom is organized, efficient and professional but it
doesn't look pretty.  It doesn't have to.  I simply don't care how it looks
because I am in the dark most of the time!!!  My PRINTS have to beautiful,
not my work space. 
        I have seen many people with amazing cameras, gorgeous darkrooms,
etc whose work leaves much to be desired.  Pretty stuff doesn't make
beautiful prints.  A beautiful eye, a beautiful soul and mind, perseverance,
and great craft do.  
                CHEERS!
                        BOB

Hi,

As I used to tell my students when I would hand back their essays: 
"Shit that looks impressive is still shit", they still get a failing 
grade because "impressive" certainly did not impress me. :)

Cheers,
Bogdan
