Rick,

I completely worded that post incorrectly. I was not referring to 
"you" specifically. I completely apologize for the ill-written 
wording. I used the word "you" in general terms, almost in an 
analogy sense. I am sorry you took it that way; not intended at all.

I'm slammed right now. I'll post a response later. But wanted to 
correct this as soon as I saw it. I re-read what I wrote and could 
see how you'd read it that way.

One other thing to everyone who's freaking out about my 
suggestion to destroy the file after printing -- I should have 
avoided this. Everybody's up in arms about it. It probably is 
super-purist like someone suggested. Maybe just to give your 
written word that no other prints would be made available, 
besides what's quoted on the Certificate of Authenticity; how 
about that? Keep the file, keep the neg; just retire the print.

I'm fine with having larger editions too, maybe 30 or 50 or even 
100. But to me, it seems better to have one large edition, rather 
than a "big size" and a "little size" edition. The two-size approach 
feels kinda "decorator" if you know what I mean. I'd bet everyone 
here has images that they think work best in one certain size; 
why not find that size, and restrict the edition to that 
interpretation?

Again, to Rick, complete apology.

Mark
