I had lunch with Michael, who runs luminous-landscape.com, yesterday as he
wanted to show me some piezo prints and compare papers. I think he was put
off joining DigitalBW because of the necessity to join Yahoo and also
probably because his plate is so full running the site... pretty much a full
time job. 

I think maybe the final impetus for him to buy the Piezo system was when we
were filming a segment for his new DVD magazine, comparing prints from our
joint shoot of the Midway at the CNE (there's a section about his on his
site). My prints were Piezo and his 1280 prints using a duotone setup in
Photoshop. I guess his must have looked pretty good under tungsten light but
out in the daylight the metamerism was nasty and they were a weird greenish
shade. The piezo prints were of course still relatively neutral.

We went through a whole bunch of papers on Monday and the cream of the crop
was Orwell. But the famous flaking was already showing up and there were
white dots in the shadows... a real pity. I can't wait to try Photorag.
