[alt-photo] Re: How do you reproduce your work?

[Carol Gula]

HI,
If there is any alt near Tampa, I'd love  to know.
 I've been  a lurker for  a number of years (can you be shy on the internet 
?)
The past few years I've been focusing on updating my digital skills. I had 
used the Burkholder method for negatives in the past, but promise myself 
I'll be experimenting with Mark Nelson' methods this year.
