The photography department at the WGAS is scaling back a class that teaches “outmoded processes” from once a semester to once a year as it is no longer relevant.
Imagine the embarrassment I felt for the ART &LEISURE section of the NEW YORK TIMES when some poor misguided writer devoted a front page article to some backward photographer using one of those processes. Hope – for their sake it is under the “leisure” section.

Don't you think though that at some point there will be a backlash against digital, and doing old outdated processes (and activities such as using the post) will become trendy to give images a different look from all the large, Epson prints?
There were a lot of people in undergrad that hated digital just for the sake of hating it, I never minded much because I didn't think of it as the same as older processes, or as replacing them. That seems the problem for me here, why the limitations? The reasons I can think of make me wonder if they are really the reasons, perhaps I have been living with the Fossil too long but I get a sense of profit from this...
WGAS sounds like it is really living up to its name!
