Digital BW, The Print

Of course she is not going to lighten her work.
The issue is that the images were in prophoto, a 1.8 gamma space, and will
look darker when viewed in a 2.2 gamma space e.g., Internet explorer.

When creating images for the web, they should be in sRGB, gray-gamma-2.2, or
correctly tagged.

Best regards,
John Moody

Don't do it! Your pics look fine just as they are. And especially
don't do something like that just because someone else thinks they
should be lighter. I really like your work, and one of the reasons is
it's not imitative. I look at a lot of photography on line and yours
is very refreshing. Just keep on following your instincts. You may
explore other styles someday, but let it be because that's where your
instincts take you.

BTW, I agree that BO is a great way to print these images. They are
all about what BO is all about: intense blacks, strong contrast and
luminous highlights. I also see a lot of courage in your work. Keep
it up, this is good stuff. I am especially impressed with the
Mortician's Daughter series. I've bookmarked your site & will be back
now and then for a look. I hope you will continue to post new stuff.

Regards,
Clayton
