I guess I could but my interest is in making images that exercise the 
potential of human vision and create as lifelike an image as possible. 
Color processes like gum bichromate seem to color as pictorialism was to 
the potential of photography to render subjects accurately - I have 
heard these called "a way for folks who have trouble holding a brush 
steady to imagine they are painters." Paintings that attempt to be 
photographs seem to disappoint as much as photographs that attempt to 
emulate painting. There is probably a value in both, but there is also a 
value in creating images that very accurately record color as was once 
done with dye transfers.
