[Alt-photo] Re: Bob Kiss's exhibit in Charleston

[BOB KISS]

DEAR JEREMY,
	Good question!  "Size matters!"  My Epson 3800 only prints up to
17X22 negs and I like to have 1 inch of clear film (black on the print)
around my images with no little lines due to the edge of the
film...tangentially related to matting in that I like that 1" of black
around my images.  Hence, 15X19.  In the "ol days" when I had my negs
printed using an ImageSetter the images were 16X20 because those babies were
VERY wide and could print much bigger negs.  
			CHEERS!
				BOB

Bob, why the 15"x19" prints instead of 16x20? Just curious (and wondering if
it's related to matting/framing?).
