LW1357 - We Don't Know Large

In the last dozen years or so, photographs have gotten much larger. This is no doubt due to the increasing size of digital printers and the pressure of marketing photographs for increasing prices. But we should be honest with ourselves about size. We photographers are wee kittens compared to the lions of the painting world. Through an invite by a mutual friend, I had the opportunity to visit the home of Anne Helms, Ansel Adams' daughter. I had a most unexpected but important revelation during that visit that has influenced my thinking about prints ever since.
