AFFORDABLE B&W ART

         JAZZ GREATS in B&W: Francis Wolff’s Rollei TLR B&W images of jazz giants like John Coltrane & Art Blakey are $75.00 (inkjet print). These are classic, iconic jazz photos. Bud Powell’s on my wall.

        NOT YOUR USUAL B&W POSTERS: I looked for years for Edward Weston posters. I love Adams, but his posters are everywhere: I finally found some Weston posters.
