<< 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). >>

Hi Mark and group:

Thanks for the report; it made me rush to the Hilton so that I'd have at 
least 2 and a half hours to see the show.  I was impressed by much of the 
imagery, and I actually found the words "Epson inkjet" on the wall of one of 
the galleries!  At the same gallery were a few "Iris prints" with the 
reference to the printer, David Adamson.  Funny, I didn't see any other 
printers credited(I guess all the photographers did their own printing!)  I 
saw about 5 Iris prints(no giclee titles) in my short time there, but no 
carbon pigments, though I expect them by next year.

Toned Silver Gelatin ruled the walls, and Fuji Crystal Archive seems to have 
a very strong showing for those printing color.  Howard Schatz's Cibachromes 
of underwater dancers(guess the word Ilfochrome doesn't sound expensive 
enough) were beautiful.

There is a similar show(Armory show) at a Pier exhibition space at the end of 
this month.  Here's a link to the info.

work is photography, but I'd bet that a lot of it includes inkjet repros of 
watercolor and paintings.

All the best!
