Digital BW, The Print

This weekend a couple of us went to a wonderful, new B&W gallery near
Atascadero, CA.  See http://www.b-wgallery.com/   They have one of the
nicest B&W collections I've seen lately, and they are all about 11 x 14.  If
you're in the Atascadero, CA area, be sure to take a look at this gallery.

 

For purposes of collecting, I think 11 x 14 is my favorite size.  The larger
ones are simply too hard to store.  An 11 x 14 up close has all the
information I think is needed.

That was also interesting to me. My photographs are almost all of 
people and I feel the same. It's much more intimate for someone to 
have to walk up to a photo and view it from a foot away rather than 
stand across the room to view a huge print. What I really prefer is 
for someone to hold my print in their hands to view. When I paid for 
a portfolio review, that was the advice of the three professional 
reviewers. My portfolio prints are 8x10 and are packed loose in a 
box so the viewer can hold them, sort them, and view them at inches 
rather than feet. I can understand that some landscape photos might 
be appropriate for huge prints but not my documentary photos.
