Digital BW, The Print

Tom,

I am with you about being energized. I felt the same when I sent out 
my 31 prints to the Scott Hendershot exchange, and when I received 
Frank Ward's images for the 13x19 exchange.

Although come-what-may has an element of the unknown/surprise to it, 
I like the idea of a theme-based print exchange. Landscape, 
Portrait,  and Architecture are themes that come readily to mind - 
but no doubt others too. Much as I am looking forward to receiving 
all the prints for the 13x19 exchange, I believe 8.5x11 (or European 
equivalent) is the easiest to handle/print. But if you are 
coordinating an exchange, it is all your call. Good luck.
