[Leica] RE: Katie at Kubota

[puff11 at comcast.net (Norm Aubin)]

Richard, Ruben, GeeBee - 

and all you other wonderful folks who have been so kind in your comments -
Thank you again - it is high praise indeed coming from you all - I've seen a
lot of your work here, and I'm flattered to hear these kind of comments from
you all.

Ruben - you're welcome to a personal copy for your own uses - have at.

Richard - It's far better as a fiber print than any monitor image - or even
digital print (to the limits of my ability).  I print this on Bergger Fine
Art Cold tone graded paper - grade two or three, Matte, toned in dilute
selenium, as an 11x11 print - it's framed and on one of my walls.  Someday
I'll make a digital print of this that's as sensual a print as the fiber
print, but I haven't the skill to do that yet.

I am inspired now to dig out a few other images from that shoot; my i900 is
warmed up, so I think it's time to scan a few more images!  I'll append them
to the lug gallery and send a URL shortly.

Norm

p.s. - This is why I will have a wet darkroom again someday - some stuff
just looks more appealing to me on fiber paper.
