  1. Best film scanning services in Paris and New York?

    Hi folks,

    It's been a few years since I have been here, and it's nice to come back and realize what a resource this forum continues to be.

    Darkroom builders in the LA area?

    In terms of traditional auctions yes, but I think these sorts of online auctions may start to work for emerging artists as well. At least that's my gut sense of how it could go. (I should also say...

  23. Re: Photo usage rights for a television pilot

    Matting 30x40" prints

    Hi folks,

    I have a few questions about matting 30x40" prints, a size I've never printed and matted before.

    What size is a "standard" mat for that print size? If I mat 16x20" prints onto 20x24"...

    Re: Stephen Shore's lenses?

    The introduction to the new editions describes how he went from 4x5 to 8x10 early on in the project, because color neg film in the early 70's wasn't considered to enlarge well. So you also have that...

    The portfolio reviews don't make money for the organizers. The reviewers' travel and lodging expenses are many, as you can imagine; remember also that they volunteer their time to...
