[Leica] Need printing paper advice

[Douglas Barry]

Richard, others have posted nudes on the gallery, so bang ahead. If 
people don't want to be shocked, well then they shouldn't follow the 
links you post.

So my current project is to print a portfolio of black & white nude images taken during a Leica Master Class with Ralph Gibson in San Francisco. I learned a lot from him in 3 days. I’m very pleased with the images but have no clue how to exhibit them.  I’ve hesitated to post nudes to our gallery but would be willing to share a few if there is interest.  They are reminiscent of timeless nudes from Imogen Cunningham and Edward Weston.

Its a mat paper, 100% rag content, acid free, 19 mil thickness, 260 gm weight with a slightly textured surface.  I’m ready to treat myself with better paper but don’t have any experience with rag paper from Moab, Canson, Hahnemühle or Museo.  These fine art papers get expensive very quickly so I’ve decided to use 8.5 x 11 for now.
