Digital BW, The Print

Steve,

I just visited your site for the first time. I loved the work on the first
page and, lo and behold, I found a print I own on the second. It was a gift
and I didn't know who the artist was...until now. I would love to have more
details about the xray process. I was originally told that you used
mammography film and MRI ...
My print is on the wall above me now.

Keep up the good work!
