I wonder if the 8 by 10 contacted proof had an edge of the 11 by 14 projected print? I would love to see that comparison? What could beat a 8 by 10 contacted anything? I had a client whose parents hired Karsh to do a wedding portrait. Karsh refused to do an anniversary portrait for them down the line. That seemed funny when they first told me this, then I worked for them. I was not treated like dirt, more like belly button lint. And they claimed they thought I was great. They will not have an anniversary portrait done by me, they are too much the apple of their parents eye. I said before I thought it ran in Families. Mark Rabiner
