My turn to shooting 8x10 black and white photography leads me into the world of traditional photography chemicals, darkroom, the zone system and the fine print. This world of film and the traditional darkroom is often pronounced dead.
One Australian exponent of this kind of fine art photography is Richard White who lives in the North East of Victoria (the (studio and darkroom is in Mansfield), mostly uses a Linhof Technika 5 x 4 field camera and writes for Silvershotz.

This is the world of Ansel Adams, Wynn Bullock, Emmet Gowin and John Sexton--- the hand made crafted print and so a another world to the one digital photography, the computer and photoshop. The contrast is the latter recognizes computer skills and graphic design and the former photographic excellence.
