Digital BW, The Print

Eric,  
I think I'll take offense at your statement that 'retired Doctors' taking images on auto etc. are not up to your standards and are giving it away, while you consider yourself a 'pro' and are charging a fair fee for your wares.  And your site is pokey, out of date, has misspellings, and I could go on but maybe I should address this to you personally.  Oh â€" can’t do that as your link for feedback does not work.
