<x-flowed>>Hi Bob, Bob Weerie won't touch a computer, I've tried to get him to see the light on several occasions. For years he sold b/w images In Santa Barbara Beach Art Walk every Sunday. I think that was his only source of income. His income, Im sure, improved when he got his teaching job somewhere in North Africa. I think He uses about every size of camera except for 35mm. He had a one man showing at the Carnage Art Museum in Ventura county earlier this year. Beautiful full range B/W prints, not that much unlike Adam's work. But his work has a wider range of subject matter, He travels more out of the country. He, not me, worked full time for Adams and was paid. I think for 4 or 5 years. I don't remember. The rest of us were there only for two weeks. I haven't printed B/W prints in years, so I don't remember the paper names we used there. At Brooks back then it was usually a Dupont paper. Back then was the Mid to late 60s. Robert H.
