Digital BW, The Print

I find this disturbing....not because you got profiles, but because 
I sent 2 targets to this person as well as paid with pay pal.

I always used Dry Creek photos site for learning about color and 
respected the information gotten there.

I sent this over a month ago...have written him 5 times and I get no 
response at all.

Does anyone have a valid contact information for this person?

This person is actually local to my home here in hillsboro, and I am 
tempted to walk over an knock on their door. Unusual for 
me....usually very easy to get along with...but no response can get 
rather frustrating.

ANy tip would be appreciated.
