Mark Rabiner interestingly commented:

<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.
<"Gee your mom has a nice smile"

<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.


That's a great slogan, Mark. Really. You could adapt it to the hands
commercial.  "Leica: It's not just vision anymore, it's touch." And it
would have a crispness in German, that it lacks in my poor mothertongue.

Oh, BTW did any of those really large gorgeous prints happen to belong
to the other Marc?  Were they fiber or RC or even inkjet?
