Digital BW, The Print

Phil,

Well 8x10 is large enough to be interesting for contact printing and 
affordable as well.

Thanks for the reminder on the Summit. I got the call for submissions 
but couldn't make the deadline. I have other commitments this weekend 
or I would try to make it up there. Hope you give a report when you 
return. Let us know how the pizza, I mean Piezo was.

Thanks,
Martin
