In viewing these images, please be aware that different computer monitors will display the images differently. The images seen on your monitor cannot approach the resolution and subtlety of tone that the original print will show.
Furthermore, in printing it is almost impossible to duplicate images identically. There will always be subtle differences between "identical" prints. On occasion, if my aesthetic sensibility changes, I may print an image quite differently from the way I had originally printed it.
I am now doing some digital photography. If I use a digital camera then the entire process is digital from developing to printing. When I use my 4x5 camera, I will be able to scan the negatives or the finished silver gelatin prints and then print the final picture digitally. In either case the finished print will be equally archival.
