I wouldn't want your efforts to be disregarded. I guess my initial response to Tom's query is a function of the way I perceive the process. To me, printing is an extension of my personal photography. I have never extended my services to others, except on rare occasions where I was doing a favor for a friend. I know that you, on the other hand, have printed for any number of clients, including some very excellent ones. Thus, you probably see darkrrom work and printing as something separate and apart from your own photography. In any event, it doesn't really matter, there's little at stake here: we're just having making pictures. Happy printing, Paul
