Myron, I think that many of us look at the world of photography,
film/capture to print / silver or inkjet and see a strange new land. Hype
and gurus abound and little really has changed in photography. Light is
still light. Local contrast is still local contrast. Color in all it's
shades and hues is still color.
What has changed is the vast array of devices that allow anyone to play with
still and motion pictures and all levels; high to low.

It might just be my age (66), but it seems to me that the combination of
digital photography and the internet has spawned a lot of experts who are
less interesting than those of the last few film generations. I used to have
a sense that many of the regulars in photo magazines had earned their way
into print both by their experience and their ability to write coherently.
Perhaps I just romanticized the photojournalist working against the odds to
get *the* image that captures a person or event, or the photographer working
in obscurity but dedicated to the art. But perhaps standards *have* changed,
as photographic seeing and process gave way to multiple frames per second
and "workflow". Certainly in silver based B&W photography we all shared (and
still share) a common base of knowledge and problems, and this commonality
enables conversation at a higher level.
My sentiments likewise about Photo Techniques. I still have some back issues
that I am loathe to discard. I really miss David Vestal's columns and wish
they were available on-line somewhere. I was in e-mail contact recently with
the new editor, and she promised "new exciting things" for the magazine. But
the latest copy I saw - I forget which edition - was full of digital this
and that.

Just threw my very-last-ever copy of Photo Technique onto the recycling
pile. I held out as long as I could as a subscriber, but the overwhelming
percentage of digital articles resulted in "why bother?" for me. Sad, since
I've been with them for close to two decades, since the old C&D days.
As luck would have it, the gear section in this (Nov/Dec) issue featured
Ilford Multigrade Art 300 paper.

Wondering if anyone here (besides Tim Rudman, who gave a testimonial) has
tried this, and what you think of it.
Cheers,
