Funny... well, maybe it was a cognitive dissonance thing; I waited so
long for them, that I had to think they were pretty great, to make it
seem like I hadn't wasted my time. :--) But actually, while I don't
think they are all equally wonderful, there are among them some of
the better gum prints I've seen. A portrait of a man, fairly far
down on the page, is my favorite, but I also like a number of the
florals, as you say, especially one of apple or cherry blossoms at
the bottom of the page, and a calla lily just above it, and I like
some of the architectural ones as well. I'm speaking from a technical
standpoint, not so much of the images themselves.

Why not, if you can? Besides, it has a quality that you wouldn't get
from a different process.
