The American annual of photography . rich darks, approachesnearest his ideal. One fault it has, the difficulty of working inlarge sizes, and this has led the writer to limit the size of hisprints to II x 14, though other considerations would dictate alarger size. But, taken all in all, it comes nearest to what thewriter feels a printing medium should be—but others need notfeel the same. Each worker must choose for himself, exactlyas each must decide for himself what method he will follow tointroduce the human element into an art which is founded onthe work of a machine; one can speak with authority onlywhen dealing with matters that are capable of demonstration,not when discussing those that must ever remain a question offeeling, and the most the writer can hope to accomplish in anarticle like this is to point out the danger of pure estheticismand to suggest methods which will lead the worker away fromthat danger and into the path of what seems to possess theelements and the potentialities of a great and noble art. 80.
