Attached Link: on papers
BTW: this was not meant to be serious. I found this website on pompous language, so... No, I didn't know these words and don't even remember exactly what they do mean.But it tells how I feel about the matter. Imo, it are the works themselves that must "prove their case" and all talking about them is, at best, second-hand. Someone trying to influence people's opinion by showing his or her superiority in whatever way will only prove his or her point to those who don't really matter. Some will be able to see through the pompousness and separate the form from the content. These are intellectuals. Some will be halted by the form's lack of "aesthetic" relation with the content. (like me and inshaala). These are more emotionalists.
Both categories are, of course, ok.
It's like needing a wintercoat and not buying it because it's not your style or taste, despite the fact that it's warm and waterproof.
BW is of course ok. It's more like drawing. But, and this is once again my opinion, their real beauty can only be seen in print (printer with several colours or , not on a monitor.
Perhaps a good read on papers is the link above: http://www.silverprint.co.uk/paper.html
