        I have a local pro lab with whom I have worked closely for many years 
to produce prints from whatever media I choose to shoot.  They do so for many 
commercial professional photographers in the area and are equipped with 
high-end Fuji printing and Imacon drum scanning...the particulars of which I am 
blissfully unconcerned and expect to remain so.   I have an Epson 2200 which is 
still in the box.  I have always passionately detested wet darkroom work and 
find the so-called digital darkroom equally detestable.  To me photography is 
all about being out capturing the image, and darkroom work of any nature 
detracts from rather than intensifies my enjoyment of photography.

 Please feel free to filter them if you so desire, I will try my hardest to 
get over the profound disappointment of knowing that you won't be reading them.
