Digital BW, The Print

Julian, 

If you do that you will certainly make a name for yourself....but come 

to think of it....I think it has already been done....

Of course you could also sell it to the corporate offices of Condomania...I understand they recently started retail operations in Europe.

  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?

  Julian
