Re: Photos a lie

Too true, Jim! I remember the days of cooking up high acutance developers and other concoctions, or under exposing and overdeveloping emulsions to get what I was after. Nobody thought twice about it.
The American photographer Ansel Adams (1902-1984), who at one point in his life applied himself to become a concert pianist, once used the analogy that the negative was the score: the print, the performance.
