[pure-silver] Re: Editions and Numbering

The idea of limited additions has really brought out the membership of the
list, that good. The question is who’s in control, the gallery owner, or the
photographer?
I rarely reprint a negative once I reach completion of my concept. If a
request for a print or a number of prints is made I will reprint the
negative with the understanding it may be different from the one they saw or
have because my interpretation is evolving. I have found making prints is a
dynamic process which leads to change, in the end it may be a small subtle
change, or it could be a big change, and that leads to expression.

Does a painter keep painting the same image because that’s what requested? 
 
My production costs, and my time dictate the value, or cost of the print.
Usually I am subsidizing this so I have no interest in reproducing a loss. I
am interest in exploring new vision. I am very wary of how my vision and
creativity are affected by having to conform to reprinting the old
standards. I like new vistas.
