	Martin,
	I was pleased to scan and print some work for Julia Parker who 
recently had an exhibition at the prestigious Fong/Heimerdinger 
Gallery in San Francisco.  Julia's 30x40 art works were printed on an 
Epson 9000 using Generations G4 pigment inks on Hahnemuhle German 
Etching paper.  Julia's art was well exceptionally well received in 
the Bay Area.
	Considering Ansel Adams started the photography department at the San 
Francisco Art Institute it is of some historical consideration that 
SFAI if offering this Summer 2003 the following course of study.
