EDITOR’S LETTER
Welcome to
BLACK WHITE
PHOTOGRAPHY
B+W143 November 2012
where it is beginning to annoy me – because
the answer is so glaringly obvious (at least
to me) that the question is irrelevant.
Of course I need to print. For me, that is
what photography is about. It’s a way of
editing my work (remember the old mantra
‘film is cheap, printing is expensive’ –
which, in the digital age is even more
applicable if you swap the word ‘film’ for
‘shooting’). I have to decide which of the
many pictures I take are actually worth
spending money and effort on and, more
importantly, living with.
In the days of social media and the
speed at which we can upload our pictures
for worldwide publication, I think there’s
something to be said for a little bit of
hesitation – a little bit of reflection on
whether this image is really something
worthy of keeping. It doesn’t matter what
anybody else thinks, it’s whether you like
it enough.
Printing digitally is still as much an art
as ever it was in the darkroom and the
more you do, the more you learn. Just like
in the darkroom you have to develop your
own style of printing through choice of
software, paper and printer etc. As
strongly as I feel that darkroom skills
should be kept alive, I also feel that we
should develop our digital printing skills.
OK, where’s that cloth? I’m going to wipe
that question off the whiteboard right now.

A bove my very slightly messy
desk is a whiteboard, which
I use to jot down ideas and the
odd quote or two to help me
through the day. Some while
ago, I wrote the question ‘Do I need to
print?’ It was partly a question to myself and
partly a half-baked idea for an article. But,
having looked at it every day for the last
three months or so, I have come to the point
