Digital BW, The Print

I met Ken Last year, and spoke to him as well and exchanged a couple e-mails. 
I was very interested in doing platinum of my xray images. I still haven't 
found a place to get negs made digitally. Are you getting them done some 
where. Something I really want to do but I can't afford to spend a year on 
it. I would like to see what you have. I think the Lenswork print is pretty 
nice, probably indistinguishable from the original. I'll send another e-mail 
regarding the Seattle get together with two choices. Your vote will way 
heavily! Basically its 9am Saturday the 9th or the following Sat. the 16th at 
1.00pm. Tylers building has an open house on the 9th starting at 1pm.
