Digital BW, The Print

Hi, Nij,

I'd like to participate, if possible. I am US-based - and I work and 
photograph internationally. I have used Piezo for 15 months now, 
and have closed down my chemical darkroom, like so many. If 
accepted, I will submit a photo taken in Moscow, to stay within an 
exotic version of a European theme. 

You can view my photo-essay on Chernobyl at the web-site:
www.temporalimage.com/annex/nuclear

It's an elegant, but difficult to navigate site, which was put up for 
me 5 years ago (an internet-era eternity).  It does have 17 photos 
with text - track your pointer around the home page until the 
"magic hand" appears - the blue and green dots often do 
something (either inside or outside my own essay, but within the 
Temporalimage site. 

If accepted, I will not submit a nuclear-issues-themed photo to 
the print exchange!

Cheers,
James Lerager
