Re: why not small prints?



Have a look at today's NY Times...Vicki Goldberg discusses this very issue.
As others have mentioned, BIG does well in galleries, and seems to be what
patrons want. For years, I only made 4x5 (or smaller) contacts, usually
mounted in 11x14...but after realizing that all the famous-famous were
making monumental prints, I ditched my instincts. A pity, really. There
aren't many opportunities for up-close intimacy in today's art's scene.
   A more practical reason for the diminutive: enlarging negatives is a
horrid chore. What a relief it would be to be done with it!
