If the truth be known, I'm a bit worried about my/our entry. First, it's printed using 'classic' Epson pigment
color inks to make a b&W, and second, although I'm proud of the image (a hand altered, torn, taped etc.)
Polaroid 665 neg., it was scanned on our dinky Microtek scanner.  When we had another 665 neg. scanned on a
Scitex a few weeks ago (for one of our source book ads..Klik) it was *so* much more dynamic and rich!  It was
good and bad...It made me realize what we were missing, *and* how much it was going to cost us to either
out-source all our scans or buy one of those very expensive scanners (and then find the space in our *very*
small NY apartment to fit it).
