Digital BW, The Print

Brooks-

Thanks for taking the time to bring us so up to date.

You have a great GREAT publication. I've only been a subscriber for a 
few issues, but have purchased many back issues. 

You are doing wonderful work. Certainly this is the best BW 
publication I am aware of and hope it continues to be successful. I 
suspect it will, in large part due to your openness to new ideas, and 
a willingness to embrace change rather than fight it.

Here on this list, we believe so strongly in what we are doing, that 
we appear shrill from time to time. But we will not be denied! To 
reject digital is just the craziest...was there such an uproar the 
first time a roll of film was processed by an automatic process in a 
lab? The first time a print was made with a Kodak MACHINE that popped 
the film in one end and a picture out the other end? (in fact, there 
is no doubt that the lab processing machines can make prints in 
greater quantities and faster than inkjet printing, so the "quantity" 
fear of digital distribution is LESS with inkjet printing).

In any event, it means a lot to hear such enlightened support from 
someone like yourself who stands for and produces art with such high 
quality standards... Confirms we really are "fishing in the right 
hole."

Thanks,
