Digital BW, The Print

>All,

If you're heading over to Los Altos to see Roy's show (I looked through the 
window yesterday after the galleries closed - WOW!  Even through the 
windows they are AMAZING)...go check out a show at the Center for 
Innovation at Foothill College.  It is titled "Some Pictures" and is by 
Keith Lee, a Foothill photography teacher.  He was my photo 2 teacher and 
we talked quite extensively about digital BW printing techniques.

The prints are both color and black and white, mostly done on film, scanned 
with a Nikon 8000, then printed on an Epson 2200.  While the prints are 
quite exceptional in terms of aesthetics, the printing technique doesn't 
sound that interesting...except that he isn't using a RIP at all.  He is 
using the UC inks and just manipulating his images until they came out the 
way he wanted.  I haven't seen a ton of BW 2200 prints done without a RIP, 
but I have to say that these are _really_ impressive.  I highly recommend 
this show if you can make it.

I believe they're open something like 8-8 M-F, and I _think_ they're open 
on Saturdays, too, but not sure on the hours (sorry, forgot to write that 
down).  But if you can check it out, it's pretty cool.
