Digital BW, The Print

Somehow, and I guess the fates were with me, but I stumbled across
Clayton's website and this one at about the same time and got
intrigued with the simplicity of his Black Only approach. I ordered a
couple of sample 5x7's from him and got intrigued.

I was recently asked to put together a portfolio, a book actually, for
a fundraising project here in Billings, Montana, and with the
collaboration of a local architect we chose about 18 of my b/w photos
for the book. The images were scans of conventional darkroom prints,
tweaked a little in PhotoShop, and then printed on my Epson R220 using
Moab Kayenta paper. I used MIS Eboni ink, and my color cart positions
have been loaded with the MIS cleaning fluid. The results were
stunning, even surpassing I have to admit, the original fiber paper
darkroom prints. (see my photos at www.flatirongallery.com, and click
on 'See the Art', then my name.)

Thanks so much to all of you, I post this not as a problem but as a
happy outcome.

And now comes Clayton with an even better approach, just about the
same time I was happy with what I had! He calls it 2KBO, and claims
it's even better. Can't wait to try that, hard to see how to improve
on what I have now.

Thank you, Clayton, and all of you!
