Digital BW, The Print

Richard,

He is not hesitent about sharing how he does what he does when 
he shows his work to us. I have no idea what he says to the people 
who buy his work about technique, but it would surprise me if, 
when asked, he would be circumspect. (I will ask him when I see 
him next.) Also, some of his images would be difficult, perhaps 
even impossible, to create without some digital manipulation, 
so it would be a tough thing to hide.

I am curious as to who you are talking to about this bias. Are 
these gallery owners, collectors, dealers? And, do they make 
a regular practice of inquiring about how a photographer comes 
to a particular final image?

How has our mileage varied widely? You're telling me his people 
do not
know, or you're speculating that they do not care. I'm telling 
what
I'm hearing from those who DO know and what they are telling 
me. I'd
be curious to hear his feeling of how much he'd like to openly 
and
explicitly point out how he pumps up this saturation and other
alterations he does. Of course, like so many are saying, it supposedly
would not matter, then there would be no hesitation, right? I
wonder.....

I'll bet most assume he does *not* use such alterations.

Best regards,
 Richard
