Any chance you will offer fine art prints from the project ? LUGgers, I have, along with other Boston LUGgers, had the opportunity throughout the past few years to see some of Michael's images from the project, and they are drop-dead gorgeous as the saying goes. And those were only working prints. Together, they make the best photo documentary by far of this, the biggest construction project (and racket :-) ever. Believe me, there are plenty of Big Dig photo books in the Boston bookstores and I have seen quite a few of them I can only hope the quality of the book comes close to that of the photos. (My father was a civil engineer; at one point he was very tempted to come to Boston and work on the project, but in the end, decided the relocation from Pennsylvania would be too disruptive, for someone near retirement. Hence my personal interest in the project). And Michael, I am absolutely, positively sure that you have many war stories to share. For one thing, I wonder if you could get away with as much, in these post-9/11, security-conscious times. Again, congratulations. - Phong Michael Hintlian wrote: > > I am pleased to announce, after nearly eight years of work my Big Dig book > ?Digging? is now available.
