Digital BW, The Print

Well, floks, inorder to reestablish some artistic equilibrium I took my
rolleiflex for a walk today into the peace of parc guell. whilst i was
shooting, I found the answer - a used condom under a bush - just right for
my found objects series. So here is what I'm going to do. The poxy 7000 just
isn't big enough for serious artists, like what I am, so I'm going to create
one of those 'tile' pictures of this photo, 4 7000 widths square. Get Mwords
to print them up which will give me a condom picture 96inches square, mount
and matte to 180inches square using used white carpet tiles from an
abandoned convent - THEN go back to the gallery - boy will he be impressed!
have I just dragged the conversation way down?
