Digital BW, The Print

I've have photos of Howard Bond, old Ansel himself and and a few other 
very good photographers hanging one the walls of my house. I even have a 
Picasso lithograph hanging on the wall that my ex-wife gave me for my 
birthday before she was my ex ( and tired to steal after she was). The 
only thing I am concerned with when I buy art work is to know the artist 
used materials that hold up over time, i.e., archival.

I really don't care to much for the details. I have found that the only 
work I ask about "how it was made" is mediocre at best and which I have 
no intention of buying, but a passing curiosity of how it was done.  I 
must add to this, my perspective is of one who has a "day job" and is 
not making a living doing commercial work - although I have sold 
photography it is not my living. Hence I have not suffered some of the 
pressures of pleasing the "customer to pay the rent."
