Oops... in trying to give too quick a reply I forgot the question I
wanted to ask.
I have read that the so called Postmodernist or avant guard (sp?)
artists of my generation have returned to black and white and the fibre
based archival B&W print.
Reading some forums on photography Ansel Adams and the zone system are
treated as some sort of god and they the high priests of the order. Not
the sort of place one would expect avant guard artists?
My reason is simply one of money and time since digital is much slower
and far more expensive and B&W prints are just as capable of providing a
Modernist critique of perception. Anyone else more?
best, Chris Jones.
