Mr. Baez seems to revere all things traditional (photographers, film, darkrooms) while scoffing at modern improvements to those processed. Photoshop IS the darkroom of the digital age. Its simply a more recent mechanism to accomplish the same goal: emotive photographs. Just because film is traditional and more inconvenient doesnt make it inherently more respectible. You can travel via horse-drawn carriage or you can travel via automobile - as long as you get there. But for god's sake lets not romanticize the more difficult way of doing things. That's just regressive thinking. There’s nothing worst than a purist.
