John -

I certainly remember your hair-raising street shots, and I can understand
how you would want to see them printed.

Your advice is all good, and some day I'm sure I will come around to
quadtone again. For the moment, however, the options are so bewildering and
fluid -- and my needs so modest -- that I'll stick with the itty-bitty
dots. I do have a box of Legion Photo Matte on order, and if the reviews
here are anything to go by, it should look great.

Best regards,

-- Nick
