Analog Darkroom, Digital Darkroom



"Bluntly stated, the analog darkroom is, in comparison to the digital darkroom, primitive. After having spent years working with Photoshop in the production of LensWork, when I now go into the darkroom to make an analog silver print I feel like I'm working with stone knives and bear claws. Dodging, burning, flashing, and bleaching are unbelievably crude when compared to the finesse available in Photoshop for simple tonal adjustments."
