I think more people have seen my work since I've moved to displaying it 
mostly digitally; I find the web has been very good for that.  I also 
see many more other people's work than I used to, for the same reason -- 
I can.

I'm trying to do more printing too.  Last week I selected and printed a 
dozen historical shots (my lifetime, not *really* historical)  for a 
display at a small science fiction convention I was at last weekend, and 
that was fun, and seeing people react to the display was fun.  Though I 
think more people were reacting to the displays on laptops that a couple 
of photographers there were making of their photos from that weekend.
