Digital BW, The Print

Hi Michael,

I have an Epson 2400, 2200 & 1280...but the 3800 is really tempting.

I enjoyed your Smugmug photos/galleries.  I feel much like you....ie
I'm making mediocre images in Alaska....but enjoying it nonetheless.

Do you still have the KLR650?  If so, you need to come up to Alaska
and the Yukon someday for the Dust to Dawson Summer Solstice ride. 
Dawson City is the place to be for a KLR650 rider.  Hope to see you
there someday.

Gary Benson
