Good idea, their no use to you dead, better then in a museum under controlled lighting conditions accessible by only a relatively small percentage of the population.

Hi BR,

       Yeah, to remain a pure artist-photographer, who?  Like,
sell an image and it gets reproduced in magazines.  You could
became hyper-extreme, only show your photomaster pieces in
your home under controlled lighting to your hand selected people,
burn all the prints and negatives when you die.
