Digital BW, The Print

I would have said that they are definitely inkjet on some sort of parchment.
Even the books are printed on the same material - quite unusual (some of the
books were thousands of dollars).  I did not see any technical blurb on
their creation.  When you see the exhibition you are really quite moved.
While the images are spectacular, for me it was more the interaction between
man and animals which we perceive (and normally they are) as very wild and
dangerous. Back to how they were made, it is interesting to think about the
video.  All the still images on display are part of the video - I don't
think they were video stills per se but there is a part in the video
relating to all the still images if you get my meaning and they could well
have been stills.  The video was more moving for me than the photos.  Really
cool show but pick a warm day to see it!
