Digital BW, The Print

Hi Jane, Gary and AnneMarie:

When I was making my rounds for the folowing report at the AIPAD show  
in NYC:

I don't think I saw the work Giclee anywhere, but I did see:

Color Inkjet Print, Pigment Print, Archival Pigment Print, and Epson  
UltraChrome Print.

Just some observations from a very high profile photo art show.

I have used the terms: "pigment ink print" or "pigmented inkjet  
print" in the past for my work.

The issue of "original" is an interesting one. I would ask the person  
what original means to them. An original painting or illustration is  
easy to understand, but an original photo? A Polaroid is probably as  
original a print as I've seen. You can offer to sell your digital  
camera file or negative for thousands or millions I suppose : )

All the best,

Andrew
