Digital BW, The Print

Tom, very well put.  I saw it today and was very excited by the
quality of the prints.  And finding that kitten under the bed was a
shock as I knew the photo well but had never noticed before and only
read your comments right now.  The exhibit is well presented and worth
a trip to see, along with all the other photography in NYC, of course!
