At some point it is a subjective call what is drudgery or inefficiency and what is desirable work. I, for one, maintain a wet darkroom because I like to make prints by hand, it’s something that makes me feel engaged with the result in a way that digital workflow doesn’t. But it’s totally my choice to do this. And to choose which parts of the process I want to simplify(I use a motorized drum to process film). I like to cook, but there’s no way i’d Give up my electric mixer.
