It really does make one feel very humble.

And I am re-reading Gene Smith's stuff again. Make one wants to burn all the
prints.

Now I have a dilemma, I have a spot reserved for famous John Sexton's B&W
workshop this Nov, but I am wondering whether putting intense working doing
B&W inkjet ala George DeWolfe is more fruitful in the long term...
