Peter,
I have my own large format Epson (24" wide) and print my landscapes (and, soon, will be doing a whole lot more of it!) as well as my own enlargements for wedding customers.
Black and white looks so different, as you've mentioned; all depending on the type of paper you use, too. I'm using archival/museum quality stuff at the moment and am quite happy with it. It's a warm off-white lustre/semi-gloss paper.
The model in this image is a theoretical physicist who has just moved to Melbourne. I will be doing several prints once I've processed all the images from our shoot.
Thanks, guys. Look forward to sharing some more soon as time permits.
H
