Yah, yah, right, right...go look at Smith's stuff and you will find - by and large - shadows blocked up tighter than a nose four days into a really, really bad head cold.
Currently, I know that feeling. Thanks for the laugh.
The use of a camera is similar to that of a knife. You can use it to peel potatoes, or carve a flute. ~ E. Kahlmeyer

Sometimes it is the mystery that lies in the blocked up shadows that add drama, suspense, and mood to an image.
True - although now that I re-read what Rutt said, I must admit that he was dead-on right - if you can expose in such a way that there is detail in your shadows, then you have the option of showing that detail, or, like Gene Smith, burning it to hell and gone over the course of 36 meth-fueled hours in the darkroom (or in our case, in front of your computer monitor )

In most situations, just exposing properly will do.
