One guest came up to me and asked me, in all seriousness,
how difficult it was to make a "Silver Gelatin" print. I explained to
him that it was just a big name for conventional photographic paper,
but I don't think he believed me: He still seemed convinced that this
was some esoteric technique.
Well, the technique succeeded then :-).
Another story in the "What is the world coming to" category:

He asked the judges about it
and it turns out that they had never heard of Bromoil and furthermore
assumed that anything they didn't recognize must be digital.
That speaks a volume. Apparently, they'd never heard of "Google" either,
which would have cleared things up in a jiffy. It's sad, but apparently
inevitable,
when purism starts eating the offspring.
