a detour as I updated a post about masking — as I wrote a post about pyro stains — I wondered whether it mattered, since in writing about the older methods I am posted by several orders. And, it probably makes no difference anyway — the world of imaging should move onward. It isn’t worth, other than marginal historica peacocking, providing ways and methods of a dead era. Making digital imagery is much more expressively rich; providing immediate feedback — changes become a matter or eye-hand, as if I were drawing.

Anway, some matters from the West.
