Digital BW, The Print

Nick,

Good luck with the show and congratulations. I wish I was closer so I could
come and see! You'll have to hook up with a San Francisco gallery.

Hi Martin

Thanks for that. Actually, I am also with a San Francisco 
gallery/dealer  - Debra Heimerdinger (Fong/Heimerdinger Gallery), who 
is lovely. 

A portfolio of 12"x15" prints using the 2200 with IJC is available
for viewing there, at the Fong/Heimerdinger Gallery on Market Street. 
However, these don't look as good as the NY photos, because after 
working on the photos with Joe at Bowhaus on the NY exhibition in the 
last month, he taught me so much about avoiding graininess (I had
been using Levels way more than I should have, incurring unecessary 
grain) that all the photos from the NY exhibition have been pretty 
much re-worked from scratch and look much better/less grainy.

Nick,

I'll try to get up to SF to take a look. The Fong gallery is quite
prestigious. If galleries of their status are handling digital prints I
would definitely say the barriers are coming down. Thanks for blazing a
trail!

	Martin,
	I was pleased to scan and print some work for Julia Parker who 
recently had an exhibition at the prestigious Fong/Heimerdinger 
Gallery in San Francisco.  Julia's 30x40 art works were printed on an 
Epson 9000 using Generations G4 pigment inks on Hahnemuhle German 
Etching paper.  Julia's art was well exceptionally well received in 
the Bay Area.
	Considering Ansel Adams started the photography department at the San 
Francisco Art Institute it is of some historical consideration that 
SFAI if offering this Summer 2003 the following course of study.
