We get to Mexico every year or two -- not nearly often enough. It's a lovely place to visit, and to photograph. Thanks, John. We get to Mexico every year or two — not nearly often enough.

Fantastic Mexico portfolio. Do you come down here often? The photograph of the walls with the banana leaves behind it is exactly what I've been hunting for years -- something a little dusty, a little tropical. But you nailed it and I'm happy for you. Excellent work. John Bob,

The only surface I've been happy working on is old-fashioned fiber-based matte surface paper printed in a traditional darkroom. I've been interested in trying computer inkjet prints on watercolor paper with a solvent-based ink, but haven't explored that myself. Anyone out there have other suggestions? Bob Hi Jennifer:

I have enjoyed hand coloring as a hobby for a while now. Unfortunately I am no longer in college and do not have access to a darkroom anymore. Thus, my predicament is how can I get prints printed on paper that is conducive to hand coloring. I have tried using matte finishes from various labs and the results are not awful but are far from ideal. And, the only place I have found that has a good textured option is very pricey. If I did this for a living I could see spending the money. But, as this is just a hobby, I was wondering if you had any suggestions.
