What I took away from viewing a museum display of AA prints was that  
even people who have paid money to get in can't bring themselves to  
stop in front of the smaller images, they just stroll on by, and don't  
stop until they get to something larger than 8x10. The larger the  
image, the bigger the crowd. The largest images weren't AA prints,  
they were inkjet blowups of photos of Adams with his camera, Adams  
with O'Keefe, etc...  and they drew more people than the actual photo  
prints. Size, as the saying goes, does matter...

Oh, and the museum giftshop was doing a brisk business in prints,  
books, and especially calendars and postcards of Adams images.
