Digital BW, The Print

Just got back from Photo LA...had some things to do and thought it 
would be a good time to visit the city.

Pleased to report I did see several, not a lot, 
of "Carbon," "Piezo," "Digital," & "inkjet" prints.  In B&W as well 
as color (great bird print on one wall in color).  Many had 
respectable prices.

Particularly nice were the Lois Conner's on China panoramics, 7x17 
negs scanned and printed (to approx 35-inches from memory), edition 
of 13 at $2000 each.  Her regular/traditional medium is platinum.

During a gethering I was asked if I thought digital would impact the 
pricing of photography.  On the spot it occured to me...for the last 
15-20 years, galleries have been working photographers towards 
editions anyhow (pulling on the tradition of printmaking).  As long 
as one subscribes to the editioning theory...then there should be no 
effect on the price due to method.

The method/medium employed to represent the image should be the 
choice of the artist to suit their skills, vision & image(s).

Overall a nice experience (for a professional swapmeet ;-).

Sincerely,
Cleavis
