HT2444 - Dark Writing


I've thought for years that photographers often think about tones exactly backwards. There are lots of photographic gurus who preach that we must pay special attention to the light. Early in my dark room days, it seemed obvious to me that we don't create a print by adding light to the paper, that instead we start with white paper and add shadows. Photography is supposedly "light writing" but getting the blacks right is what we actually do.
