Oh, sure. Blame it on me!
I actually liked what Moose did for it. In the darkroom I would have
attempted to soften the grain a bit too and the tonal recovery was similar
to what I would have done with split-grade printing. The digital image as
shown on the web doesn't do the original justice because of how grain
accentuates and turns into golf balls when presented on-screen. But I will
admit that the original has a grittiness that goes right along with the
subject matter. I think it is quite appropriate. But Moose's interpretion is
probably more representative of the real chemical B&W print.
