At the meetings more and more, Jim, it's not just a bunch of guys
walking around with semi-rare Leicas around there necks going to slide shows.
People are bringing prints of all sizes along for the ride. Surprisingly
at this point very few injets but i bet this yere will be different. But
plenty of fiber prints, RC black and white prints and "darkroom" color
prints some quite large.
Last year I brought 16x20 fiber prints thinking people would think i was
being bombastic but my prints overall were dwarfed on the tables we all
lay our prints and portfolios on. Many others printed biggger. But
there's lots of carrying around our stacks of prints and showing them in
hallways and in the hotel restaurant. 
And people bring their prints on the busses for the tours.

Seeing pixels on the screen is very frustrating as you're really not
seeing anything.

But looking at real prints at such a setting as the LHSA meetings is
quite exciting and inspiring.

LHSA Meetings
It's not just about cameras anymore.
