Digital BW, The Print

Tom -
Well said. In 50 years, only IF Sotheby's and the like are still around,
will anyone even consider comparing original prints to publications. I
have spent $100's on photo and art books over the years and I know they=
images in there will never come close to the originals. In my opinion, a
publication's intention is to show the viewer a reasonably well produced
facsimile, hence why you are not spending $1000's on a book...
