I agree. The quote in your original message didn't say anything about their 
size. It would be interesting though to know exactly how they were made.

Subject: Re: [Digital BW] Bill Brandt "carbon prints" Los Angeles


These are 35X40" according to the LA Times review (Friday July 15).

Probably not carbon contact prints!

Brandt's modern, graphic, strong: new renditions of his images require
techniques that convey his vision strongly and honestly, not with
pictorialist artifice ("traditional carbon printing")

That damn gallery BETTER be showing honest carbon inkjets: Brandt, of
all photographers, would want that!

...guess I'll call in advance to confirm inkjet (I'd be diverting to
Los Angeles before returning home from Monterey Peninsula more
directly to New Mexico). OTOH I've got a lot of film with me, and LA's
seething with images... :-)
