>> Hi all,
>> 
>> Last wednesday I went to what was probably the first
>> photographic exhibition of Piezo prints in Spain.
>> 
>> An historical moment! (at least for me) that I want
>> to share with this list.
>> 
>> There were 20 to 25 pictures made by Julian Thomas,
>> a series of street shots taken in London and Barcelona.
>> 
>> I have to say that I was amazed by the technical
>> quality of the pictures. Julian prints showed rich grays,
>> deep blacks, sharpness, no banding, no posterazation, just
>> a perfect digital darkroom work.
>> 
>> You could not tell that those prints were made with an Inkjet.
>> 
>> In fact the prints were technically so good that you quickly forgot
>> how they were made (if you knew that they were Piezo, of course)
>> and concentrate on what was really important: the pictures.
>> 
>> And let me tell you the pictures were great. Some of them
>> full of irony or humour and some other capturing beautiful
>> moments of those cities.
>> 
>> bottom line: lots of sensibility.
>> 
>> Congratulations Julian! My virtual applause.
>> 
>> Jose Luis Martinez
>> Barcelona - Spain
>> 
>> PS. Cone and Hahnemühle should be sponsoring this. They would
>> sell inks and papers like crazy! ;-)
