digi darkroom crap?

Yea. Here's what you should do.  Abandon that high technology printing. It 
uses fancy stuff like electricity and chemicals and cameras. Talk about crap!

Get yourself some finger paint. Then you'll get back to the basics. If you 
don't have enough contrast, just add some black. Charcoal works well. And 
if that is too technologically advanced, you can try hand shadows in front 
of a fire.

And disparaging other ways of doing things will certainly help your mojo 
stay aligned.
