Digital BW, The Print

Hello Clayton,

I usually lurk here and have learned a great deal.  Have really 
enjoyed your posts and clearness of your vision and ability to 
articulate it.  

I do remember several posts sometime ago with your name and address 
on them extolling the virtue of your then current camera, a Canon Pro 
1 if I remember correctly.  I appreciated what you had to say even 
though it had little to do with "Digital Black and White The Print.  
I am also enjoying the current thread regarding the evolution of 
digital capture.  What is good for the goose is.....

Again, really appreciate your contributions to this forum and 
continue to look forward to them.

Paul
