Digital BW, The Print

Hello All, I have some personal experience with this project. I  
worked with John Hill and Sven Martsen these
last months and saw first hand their toil and dedication to this  
project. The exhibit is a joy to see, over 80 pigment
ink prints and a equal number of silver archival prints, some by  
Walker, many by other master printers. Some of
you might be surprised that the average well informed person has  
never heard of Walker Evans, and this exhibit's
purpose in part is for the general viewer, as fine a space the UBS  
gallery is, it is not a museum and there in is a
benefit. John Hill knew and worked with W.E. from about 1965 to his  
death in 1975, John was the executor of the
estate, so his motivations have always been for the greater good of  
Evans and photography.
  The prints are masterful and the enlargements have truly added to  
the depth of purpose in Evans work. The small
black object under the bed in the Field Family photo is a sleeping(?)  
cat not a rag! Many other images have gained
added meaning because of these new interpretations.
  I have been fortunate participate in keeping our shared  
photographic history alive. If at all possible see this exhibit,
and feel good about the imaging improvements that we are experiencing.
