  2. Re: AA's "Holy Grail" Sells for $6.4 Million

    We bought a print of the "Holy Grail" in about 1975/6 for $4K. Sold in 1989 for $14K to build a house. Sold because I came home from work every day and walked right past it.
  3. Poll: Re: Some Darkroom questions, mostly on enlargers

    I have used the Omega D with the "flying saucer" cold light head and found it acceptable, but I moved to a Saunders Lx etc. B&W head which I liked more. Better build.

  13. Re: Which State is the Best State for Landscape Photographers to Live?

    New Mexico. Just over 2 million mostly hospitable people with 5 great cultures. So lots of lonely spaces. Many Hernandezes if you look closely. And--the light! Strong and mysterious.
