[alt-photo] Re: new website and show

[David Ashcraft]

Yes, I agree, but...
There is no way a web image can convey the full impact of a print in  
person experience.  Kind of like sex with a blowup doll-nothing like  
the real thing!

The file presented on the web is the same file used to produce the  
digital negative.  Kinda close but definitely not the same.  I have on  
the website a disclaimer to encourage the in person viewing of the  
photographs.

Also, we all know this process like other alt process creates unique  
no two alike prints.  This uniqueness in a fast growing tech, machine  
world of homogenized living is becoming problematic.  When viewing a  
print in a gallery the sales person old me if I liked the print I was  
viewing to buy now, the next print of this photograph might not be to  
my liking!

That said, I will probably photograph the prints and post those when I  
get the time.  :)

Thanks again,
David
