To Whom It May Concern,

I am looking for gallery representation with photographs that have been altered in Photoshop and printed on 100% Rag Paper.

I would be glad to mail or share samples of them if you are in the Yew York City area.

Thank-you for your considertation.

I kind of wish this were a joke, but I don’t think it is.
