Digital BW, The Print

John,

I suspected you might be the source of Michael's interest in Piezo 
considering the great photos of yours that showed up on his site 
awhile back.

He did reply to my e-mail with a short thank you. (I wish Yahoo did 
not make it so difficult to join the group, but the given the price 
it doesn't seem fair to complain.) He is a very active photographer 
and I imagine his plate is indeed over flowing.

Let us know how you like the Photo Rag. I am betting that you will.

Martin
