[PRCo] For Roberta Hill Fans

Some of you have expressed an interest in obtaining copies of Roberta's work. The
entire collection is willed to the PTM (and may very well wind up there before my
final exit.)

The cost of reprints is high for these medium format negatives and only about 2,000
negatives for the 10,000 plus prints are accounted for.

My solution is to offer some of Roberta's better or more interesting work on
CD-ROM. I can scan prints at 150 dpi and save them at maximum quality to disk. I
can offer 100 images on disk at $20.00 per disk. This is less than Ms. Hill's
family allows me to sell the prints for on eBay or outright (photos of other
systems.) The scanning is very time consuming and I don't have much free time for
it. Yes, I can scan a few images here and there or sneak into my e-mail several
times per day. But to sort through several filing boxes of prints and actually sit
down and scan for three hours straight is a rare luxury these days. But at least
I'll find the prints Matt has been patiently waiting for so he can get enlargements
for his den! :-)

What I can do is see who may be interested in this. Then I can scan the images and
offer a "sampler" of Roberta's work, dating from 1962 to 1973, both color and B&W.

If those who respond are happy with the initial offering, then I will offer more
images.

E-mail me privately.

Thanks,

Ken J.
