Digital BW, The Print

Tyler  -
 
I understand that it was all about the prints.  You're sure correct.  It's a great accolade for you and all of the others that have helped pionee and develope this stuff.  Certainly the most surprising part of this is the venue that this took place in, and the fact that, apparently, all of those casting a vote, voted thier real preference.  These are the kinds of things that will help validate these processes in eyes of galleries, the general public, and other photographers.   
 
I think it unlikely, however, that those in the forefront of these process will do much sitting and enjoying the glow.  So many feel that we're only beginning on where this can go.  It's great.
 
And, you do deserve some applause for your personal efforts.

Really? Fries?

Actually, I know exactly what a UC print would have looked like next
to them...

Tom, there was a lot of nice work there. It really was about the
prints, and that was my reason for reporting it here. I think people
here that have been working on all of this for so long and with so
much skill and talent should have the oportunity to sit back and
celebrate the fact that it works at a high level, and it's obvious to all.
We are an isolated bunch you know...
