Digital BW, The Print

Austin,

You missed my point completely. Which is: what medium you use is 
unimportant,if your vision is strong and you know your medium of 
choice then it won't matter what you present it on, except to those 
who have bias toward one medium or the other, and I don't choose to 
pay much attention to those people.  They have an agenda that means 
nothing to me, except agrivation.  I want responce to the content not 
the container.  

I print in both mediium so I have no particular bias toward either 
medium.
