I am a fan of the FSA site and have downloaded and printed many high-res images. I have a small exhibit of 10 or so to put in my office. Sometimes one of the younger staff will recognize "Migrant Mother" - older (really older) clients love all of them and ask for prints to frame. No problem since they are public domain. I print them on archival rag paper and give instructions for proper matting and framing, hoping they will be handed down. Ok, enough for art, now if I only had some really good signatures to copy..... Ken Carney Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
