Digital BW, The Print

I'm curious.  Not exactly relevant to your message, but has anyone in the
group ever had a buyer inquire as to the medium?  I never have, nor have I
found anyone who had any interest when I explained it.  I just call them
photographs.  The viewer either responds to the image, or not.  Of course,
this excludes other photographers (who may never see the image) and art
dealers (who seem compelled to identify a process in fine detail).  But my
prints don't rise to that level...they're $250 prints (matted and framed, I
might add) done for my own amusement and amazement and hopefully the
enjoyment of others, definitely not for a living.

Regards,

an amusing if somewhat sad thread here:

"Anybody else getting heartburn with the new 'Carbon Print' ?

But am I just being a curmudgeon for thinking that calling an inkjet print a
'carbon print' is just a little disingenuous? There is a 100+ years of a
traditionally accepted meaning of the phrase 'carbon print', and to have
this term co-opted in the interest of avoiding 'calling a spade a spade'
just seems shameful...."
