Just FYI, for photographs of the art of Angela Weyersberg, I will burn Blu-ray "M-Disks" that have a life of (claimed) of up to 1000 years.

The most important one donated to two Libraries for the area. It is still existent and often taken out on loan, even after he passed. Thanks for your comments, relevant!
