Gary -  I took a look at your website and I'm blown away by your work!
Well-done!!  I can totally agree with your quest for perfection and fully
support your idea of a custom printed one-of-a-kind book for the 90th
birthday subject.   

 

On the other hand, mass production or even single print-on-demand production
is a totally different animal.  For instance, I have a number of Ansel's
books.  I have also examined (with gloves) photographs personally printed by
the master himself.  Ansel's books, and the images thereto, are nowhere
close to the quality of his prints.  Nevertheless, the books are well-done
and the images convey the emotion and feeling of his work.  

 

So, my point is that we should all charge on and print or publish or work
using whatever means we have available.  At the end of the day, the prints
or books will be our only remaining legacy.

 

This topic, BTW, has been very helpful to me over the past couple of days.
Thanks to everyone for your contributions!
