[Leica] IMG: Image to hang in Wisconsin Photography 2009

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

Hi George.
 
You topic and this thread are particularly timely for me. I was recently 
asked (out of the blue!) to submit 5 gallery ready pieces to a cooperative 
gallery that has been around here for about 50 years. They wanted to jury my 
work to join if I was interested. 

What was so interesting and pertinent to your observations is that after 
working to produce the best products I could, looking at the prints was much 
more satisfying than looking at the screen images. Though I know that the 
color gamut of my printer isn't as large as that on my screen, the prints 
seemed much richer to me. Perhaps because they were larger or touchable or a 
bit more 3 dimensional or all three things. I just thought these 5 of what I 
considered to be my best looked significantly better as prints.
 
Maybe next time, if you decide to do it again, consider submitting prints 
just for the satisfaction a print can bring. 
I'm printing like a banshee now and loving it even though I don't have 
enough wall space (does anyone?). 

Thanks for starting this interesting thread George. 
Best,
Bob

Sure doesn't feel as good.

"back in the day"
for commercial clients
I'd deliver both
"repro" prints (or transparencies) for print use
and
mounted display prints for the office conference rooms.
right along with
actual finished key line layouts with overlay masks
and covered with lovely fancy papers.

And all of that was preceded by lovely rough pencil drawings
followed by comprehensive marker layouts
carried in portfolios
and presented on easels.

Felt like delivering REAL finished art work.

George, congrats on the exhibit. And the points in your blog certainly 
strike home. Even with purely commercial projects, where I used to deliver 
prints, either stacks of 8x10's, large display prints matted or framed or 
whatever, now a common delivery is a DVD or even e-mail attachments or 
yousendit transfers.

Doesn't feel as good.
