Thank you Judy.
This is the beauty of photography, reproducible....hence you can make a
number of images so MANY people can enjoy them, the originals not some
digatized, scanned or poor reproduction in a book. Are you really
satisfied that only 25 or 50 people and some of their friends will ever see
your work?
You can donate some of your work to MOMA or some other institution, but
wait give away your work??? You made a "limited edition" to increase its
value and get you more money. Please.
I think we impose a cap on the number of prints we make, why??? Because
its BORING. To sit in a darkroom and make 1000 copies of the same image, I
won't do it.
