The other day, a photographer came by the house to show me some of his work. I always enjoy this opportunity to meet with people and learn about their creative process. This fellow had images made by using glass plates and hand coated gelatin silver materials. Clearly, he was a photographer who loved the process. In viewing his work, all of his comments are about the technical and chemical challenges of making his images, but virtually nothing was said about their artistic intent or the aesthetic created by his process.
