RE: [Digital BW] Re: transparent "paper" for printing negatives?

2003-11-02 by David R. Spielman

Frank,

I'm not sure what exactly one would post in this case. The prints from these
negatives are on conventional silver/gelatin material. As with any
photograph, the only way to really appreciate them is to examine them in
person, 'up close and personal' as it were.

Best Regards,

David R. Spielman
