Digital BW, The Print

You can't go wrong with a workshop with Geo. DeWolfe. He is the one 
that got me started in digital printing. I attended one of his 
workshops in Florida, Photofusion, and have never looked back. He 
teaches several workshops around the country. I don't remember his 
web address, maybe someone reading this has it, but you can check 
in "Camera Arts" I am sure it is in there.
