APUG - View Single Post - is it the process or the final print that is important?

This question has come up before. Happy users of high-end, they say, cameras such as Leicas have gone so far as to say that the final print has no importance at all.

I hang prints on my walls. I don't hang anything involved in making them, from seeing the subject through framing the print, on the wall. And I don't see how processes can be displayed.

That said, Mark, if you get great pleasure from pushing the button and don't feel the need to print anything, let alone hang your own work on the wall, I don't see what's wrong with that. I mean, you're using your time and other resources to please yourself.
