Digital BW, The Print

After the workshop I traveled for a week so just back now. I wanted to mention a few 
things before the thread dies...
Very impressive surprises were Craig Carlson's prints, made with Tom Mallonee's custom 
K6 inkset, which I had not previoulsy seen, and Walt Odets' work. It always amazes me 
how often our preconceptions are dashed in this work, and how often they NEED to be.
I think for the attendees, a major plus of Walt's presence was the radical difference in 
approach from what I am comfortable putting forth. His work is smaller format 
photojournalism, and the prints are glossy with a straightforward hue.
He uses an approach established by Paul Roark, replacing the Y in his UCK3 pk setup with 
a light gray, and prints on the Harman gloss. It's always a treat to see such a successful 
marriage of great images (really), and craft, and materials, particularly outside our chosen 
realm. Craig's work was a bit more in the area I'm familiar with, but also a perfect 
marriage of image and craft and materials, that I had not yet seen. These are clearly 
accomplished photographers and printers.
Lot's of great work there, too many to mention, hopefully over time, after a LOT of sleep!
Thanks also to Jon Cone for rushing some of his special blend K6 ink for the 1400, we 
were able to let everyone try it. The 3800 was provided by Bytes2Print, for the DigitalStop 
program, who were nice enough to invite me in the first place.
