RE: [Digital BW] Re: Moonrise - was Signing prints question

I remember John (I think it was John) saying that AA would keep Moonrise
rejects.  When some student came by to show him prints, he would look at the
student print, go get a Moonrise, look at it and rip it up, saying he would
never print again.  John also shows a Moonrise with two moons (waaaay before
Photoshop).
