His CV listed a long >string of exhibitions and prizes (and incidentally, his first Leica >purchase in 1958), most recently the 1998 Hasselblad Prize. Seldom have And who got the 1999 Hasselblad Award? Cindy Sherman! Beats everything... Anyway, I've been on and off LUG (digest) lately, mostly lurking (I did some posting last year though :-)). Glad to see many of you are still 'alive and kicking'. I'm shooting with my M's regularly, but somehow not keeping up with printing (B&W). So I often think about a digital darkroom. Would I be more productive? Would it be more fun? Or the other way around? Anybody who switched from a traditional to a digital darkroom cares to comment? Thanks. Jiri Dvorak
