I'm always happy when I read your words but when they are like these ones ... you made me fly..., really happy, thank you, thank you very much for the personal apreciation for me and for my work, thank you for the fan Club... I will comment as Groucho Marx say, "I'll be be never a member on a Club that they admit members like me", thanks too for your grandson, he will be a great photographer with a such Master. I have the same opinion as you about tonning, usually I never tone and my preference is for B&W as t is, but on this case I've hesitate for the same reasons you mention, even so, when I imagine the print in my wall... I prefer imagine it in B&W. My intention is announce prints selling, on such cases the buyer will choose. I don't know if I have still much more good pictures from Paris for a new book, with these ones I've found some others I've just posted in my Blog <http://lluisripollphotography.wordpress.com/2012/08/12/paris-1990/> Thanks again my dear friend!
