Thanks!

I do my best to promote what/how I photograph on my website & blog. BW is my 
first love. It used to be clients would ask about color vs BW but I don't 
get those questions anymore. I hope that they trust me otherwise I'm not 
sure why they would hire me. I don't think I'm exactly a "hey I take pretty 
pictures type of guy".

For albums I would say it's 75% BW and 25% color.?

I just realized on this slideshow I uploaded from LR with the sharpening for 
screen on which I never do. I think it shows a bit more noise because of 
that. I can tell the difference here with a 27" screen.?

I did notice a few times the M locking up on me. It's possible I was too 
fast for the buffer. This was a loaner so I don't know what firmware it has. 
I would just take the battery out and all was well again.

Wonderful Chris!

You write you enjoy the gear and it does feel through your album.

Now, most of us on the lists are biased for BW and can enjoy grain but 
I have two questions for you:
- is the positive feeling generally shared by the clients?
- what's you blend (sorry Ted) of colour and BW in an album you sell?

Not that I want to do the job, I wouldn't be able to. Just curious.
TIA
