Digital BW, The Print

I have an InternetExplorer folder of Bookmarks/Favorites for 
many of the galleries that I saw at the AIPAD show this weekend. 
I'm not quite sure how to upload an exported Favorities file, but I'll 
send it to Antonis, and maybe he can upload it in our Bookmarks 
section of this board. If anyone else wants it, write me offlist and 
I'll attach it back to you. There are about thirty or forty sites.

Lowest price that I saw quoted was $600; highest price was a 
cool $250,000, for something that I should remember, but don't 
at the moment.

My worst favorite was a giant color Cprint, about four feet wide by 
about six feet high -- a close up of a fishing bait with a face 
painted on it. It sucked beyond belief. (It probably sold for fifty 
grand). My best favorites were about three hundred and fourteen 
other images that were remarkable.

I saw no print labeled "inkjet"; I saw one print labeled "Giclee". I 
saw a bunch of bad frames. I saw a bunch of beautiful women -- 
not in the photographs -- roaming around the show.

If inkjet is gonna make any inroads, we gotta do something 
different. Whatever we be doin' now ain't getting the job done. 
Those galleries look at inkjet just like we look at the subjects of 
Shelby Lee Adams photographs....
