The trend emerged last September, some time after the first round of discussion about the AaI&A research on the digital BW forum. Prior to the emergence of the trend, a professional colleague of mine and head of a photographic conservation school in Denmark joined AaI&A. But the new members are largely professional printmakers, so I can't connect the dots.

As John noted, the international pockets of membership have great fluency in English, but other countries like Japan actually do, too. Yet it's just these three geographic locations that stand out in my membership roster. France is starting to become another well represented country, but not so strong at the first three I mentioned just yet. The internet is fascinating to me what with the ability to take my research global for very little capital required.

Anyway, thanks again to everyone for the kind words, and efforts made on my behalf to spread the word about the AaI&A digital print research program.

cheers,

Mark
