Digital BW, The Print

Tina,

Why don't you have the high quality prints sprayed with a protective 
coating?  How is the museum going to mount the prints?  I can't imagine 
that any museum would want anything but your best possible work on the 
walls.  Are you sure that the museum isn't biased toward the darkroom 
crowd and is trying to skew the comparison?

Also, where and when will the show occur?  I'm in the area and would be 
interested in seeing it.
