Digital BW, The Print

I meant to change the reply header to 2100 roller cleaning question
above to reflect that I added a statement on my URL, but had Yahoo
problems, so I'm reposting the following paragraph. Sorry for the
double posting....

After reading Martin's (and others) post about netiquete and tech and
art and straight vs "altered" photos I see one point brought up
is signing full names and possibly posting URL. Since I've never done
either, well, okay, just remember site is > a year out of date (I'm
doing some color now), and while I highly, highly respect getting
great tonal quality and large neg size I have to sacrifice it for the
montaging freedom (i.e. I have to drop from 16 bit early in the
workflow in order to combine images in pshop and I need lots of raw
material to choose from--->35mm film or digtal). But I see no problem
whatsoever in changing a photo from what was shot, unless it is
labeled as unaltered (aka National Geographic philosphy) With these
excuses in
mind, here is what I've been doing when I haven't been fixing clogs:

Jim-

If that is your "out of date" work, I am overwhelmed. You weigh in on 
a lot of technical issues...and have enough of your own <g> that one 
never gets to the issue...YOU ARE REALLY AN ARTIST.

That's the best I can say.

Congratulations...I'm dying to see the site when you do update it.

cheers,

Tom O'Connell

Thank you Tom. It is nice to get compliments esp when I'm so far from
the coasts. The latest photo on the site is from Febuary of 2002.
Since then my wife has pryed me away from close up shots in junkyards
and cities to Rocky Mtn. national Park, where I promptly started
shooting tree roots instead of the beautiful alpine lakes next to
them. Go figure.

Anyway, this resulted in montages of nudes entangled in the fallen
trees and roots. And some color shots now. I have one (slightly false)
color shot of a nude combined with the neat alpine tundra in the park
at 12,200 feet. Odd side effect of going with Imageprint/2200...
