The end of Forte

What I consider to be the finest enlarging paper available will be discontinued in February. It will be a sad day when the coating machines are turned off at the Forte factory. It is yet another example of the growing trend toward the demise of analogue photography. It is hard to accept such ignorance, let alone understand it. But reality resides in the power of the purse. And the blind masses waste their money on digital media. They are incapable of seeing the difference, or simply don't care. What matters to them is what is instantaneous. Quality, class, beauty.....these are all foreign terms to most of the multitude. They waste their time and money on gratifications that don't last or make them disgustingly fat.
