A close friend of mine just listed his new/unused Kodak 760 on ebay. He was
up for a big digital job but it fell through.

Hello everyone. My name is Tim Timmermans. Julian Thomas who I met on 
www.thesight.com told me about this forum. Thanks to Martin for 
hosting. I look forward to getting to know you and you me. I live in 
Los Angeles and am a Fine Art Photographer shooting mostly Landscape, 
Found Imagery, and some figurative.

I no longer have a wet darkroom so I've been working in the Digital 
Domain for about a year and a half. I have an Epson 2000P which I 
like but I'm still not happy with my print quality. I've been selling 
prints and have a few venues that want me to exhibit but I want to 
improve my prints before taking that step. I'm picking up an Epson 
1280 tomorrow which I plan to dedicate to B/W. My intent is to go 
with a  nomorecarts CIS or MIS CFS (any preferences?), using MIS VM 
hextone inks. I'm stuck with an Epson Perfection 1200U Photo scanner 
for now so I'm looking at either Vuescan or Silverfast. (any thoughts 
there?) I'm also considering Genuine Fractals so that I can work with 
smaller files (currently in the 20-30mg range). Looking to print up 
to 13 x 19 as well as Pano images 13 x whatever so I hope to work 
small and print big if this is possible. (any advice?)

I appreciate any comments, suggestions, or advice and I look forward 
to seeing your work, sharing mine and hopefully contributing to this 
board as well as benefitting from the wealth of knowledge that I'm 
sure is lurking here.

I plan to have a better web site in the future but if anyone is 
interested in seeing my current, somewhat neglected AOL hosted site 
the URL is:  http://hometown.aol.com/udu7/timtimmermans.html

Thanks for your time and Happy New Year to all of you.

Tim (who apologizes if he makes any rookie errors in learning my way 
around this board and its protocol and format)
