Digital BW, The Print

Mark, thanks for the report on AIPAD; I couldn't make it this year, but hope
to go next year.  I'd love to hear any more thoughts you have on the show.

After receiving your print from the print exchange, and also your images
from Cuba on the website, I seriously doubt that your work is not in the
league with what's shown at AIPAD.
Now to get it shown by some of the dealers who exhibit there!

Just a reminder for anyone in the NYC area. Tomorrow is the last day
for the AIPAD show at the Hilton, on 6th Ave, between 53/54th. $20
for day ticket, for EIGHTY FIVE GALLERIES! Talk about one stop
shopping -- this is the ultimate demonstration of that. Galleries
from all over the world -- France, Australia, Canada, Germany, and of
course, all the heavyweights from the U.S. It was honestly quite
overwhelming after a few hours -- I had to go up to 55th and eat a
bunch of french fries and mellow out.

But breathtaking work of all kinds, but mostly concentrating on
vintage it appeared. Tons of bromoil, gum bichromate, and GSP, but
then some color Cprints and Cibas scattered in there as well. I saw
MAYBE one inkjet in the whole two stories, sadly to say though. These
people are too highbrow I would assume, to treat inket seriously, at
least from a sales/investor standpoint. (And, after seeing the show,
I can't say as I blame them -- with so much mis/dis=information
floating about, and Wilhelm nowhere to be found, and with metamerism
in the equation with the pigments, the choices are few. I guess you
quad guys and Piezo guys would argue with that, but the evidence was
on the wall today -- or should I say, NOT on the wall).

Anyway, if you wanna get your socks blown off, check out this show.
It'll either inspire you, or you'll start selling insurance, because
the bar is quite high. It's a quick Masters Class in fine art
photography in 2002.
