RE: [Digital BW] Editions: Another Dumb Idea...

Oops, yep, I misread that bit. I guess I was reading with a preconceived
idea, and only saw the words I wanted to see. Apologies.

Hi Darren, 

Not!  The whole idea of an edition is that it's limited; a fixed number of
prints 
and that is it, as Mark said.  He is only suggesting that you stage the
printing 
of the edition.   You can't later create a whole new edition of the same
image 
and have any integrity at all.  This seems basic.  

The Jul-Aug 2001 issue of LensWork contains a long critique of editions, 
roughly saying it is nothing but a marketing ploy to inflate the cost of
your 
work.   I, however, like the edition idea and use it.
