Digital BW, The Print

I'm not stuck with it. I've been doing this work for artists  for  over 5 years and 
I've never used the term and never will. It is an embarrassment to even think 
about using it. In the art world there is always a tendency for people to latch 
on to a catch phrase in oder to give what they produce some credibility, 
especially when they don't know much and are more interested in marketing 
than substance. My old French girlfriend is just giggling out there somewhere 
even thinking about me discussing this again.
