I do too Rick, and spent quite some energy a few years back to get some shots. Those are very tough shots, but worth the energy spent! Dave
I haven't seen a web site or book on the subject, but the thread seems to come up every couple years. I really like the French Pacific 10,000 note...
Wow, those are great! It's fantastic your friend was able to get these good prints. Most of us wouldn't have had the connections. Dave
