Fine Art B&W Printing

"Last time I checked my bankroll,
It was pretty thin,
Sometimes it seems like the bottom,
Is the only place I been." - John Prine

I'm beginning to wonder whether I shouldn't branch out at this point and take on clients that I would do personalized b&w inkjet printing for. You give me the negative or the digital capture, I'll do the photoshopping as necessary - or you do it - and output with the 4800 on paper of your choice (more or less).

How do you figure out how much to charge? I'll try and work that out.

The Amazings

The story about the UAE taking over a couple of ports, including one in New York - is amazing because it has actually caused politicians from both sides of the aisle to unite against the president. However - the theory that we want to give contracts to our friends - whether they be Arab or English - makes good sense. In fact, an unnamed source has told me that Pres. Bush's first idea was to give control of American airports to the Iraqis to prove that we took care of our friends, no matter their religion or nationality.

President Bush argued that this was not as crazy as it sounded since Iraq was now a democracy - and that we wanted to show our support for democracies in the middle east.

The president, though - will explain why this move makes sense - and since this is not a political issue, but an issue of national security - the president will not back down from this no matter who is agin him. That is amazing.

The Met players have shown up for Spring training - and I have to believe that this is the year they will make it to the division playoffs. And to make it better, they have their own t.v. station in New York.
