Digital BW, The Print

Hi All:

I was privileged to see the Walker Evans show (loupe in hand), and,
from the comments here, approached it with some trepidation.  I did
NOT want to see a poor showing of the digital prints.

To make a long story short, I was blown away by the quality of the
show, in general, and the prints, in particular.  Where there were
silver and digital prints side by side, latter came off VERY well,
with lots of deep blacks, gradations, and pop.  I found VERY few
digital blemishes.  The general comments of the viewers were MOST
complimentary.  I left very relieved.  It was a damn GOOD SHOW!
