I know that some of you have been interested in this idea of folios like I do for my personal work and for LensWork. You might be interested in our latest addition to our Visual Workshops programs - ...

Jim,
Let me be among the first to offer congratulations on this contribution to the forum. Nice work -- and glad you were so diligent about taking the lead on this. I'm flattered that you and so...

Pertinent to this discussion, here is text from a sheet I include with prints, just to be fully transparent about such things:

"I am now offering inkjet images — the correct terminology is...

I thought I was the only one who had crappy negatives like that! Light Impressions boxes full of them. :D

I would advise you that nothing -- not even our Special Editions -- are "like gelatin silver." Gelatin silver is a wonderful medium with its own look and feel. It is not like platinum/palladium --...

You know, what works for us may not work for others - and vice versa. If LensWork were a traditional magazine - with advertising, full sized, printed on a web press, etc. - there would be no way I...

Ouch! Sounds like some of you are not getting responses on a timely basis. My apologies.

LensWork Extended #74 is (was) late and mea cupla, mea cupla, mea maxima culpa. It shipped to subscribers...

Jorge,
I am not the one pushing the offset technologies to these levels of reproduction -- the printing industry is doing that all on its own. Blame the messenger if you must, but I, for one, am not...

Jorge,
Precisely my point. Many, many people are now doing exactly that, especially with higher quality reproduction via calendars, etc. We may not like it, but if the offset reproduction and the...

Jorge,
May I ask you for a favor? In another post elsewhere, you mentioned that you had not read (and would not likely read) my article. Would you mind doing so before commenting upon it? If you...

Please, please don't get sidetracked into yet another discussion of digital versus analog. I wrote this article to express a completely different point -- one that I think deserves a lot of...

Sorry to be joining the party so late . . . I just discovered this thread late yesterday!

Thanks one and all for the incredibly passionate feedback about our magazine, both supportive and, well,...

A friend told me about this thread and I hope you don't mind my popping into the discussion rather late.

Just a couple of quick thoughts . . .

There is a world of difference between "pricing"...

Paul,
Precisely.

I've always thought that the one undeniable lesson about the marketing of photographs taught to us by Ansel Adams is that image familiarity breeds demand. He put images on...

Well, certainly one doesn't need to own a magazine to sell photographs! During the first 10 years I owned LensWork I didn't sell squat of my personal work, so there is more to it than that.

You...

Perfectly understandable. From my limited knowledge of the costs of platinum/palladium printing, there is no way a $39 or $59 price is supportable. To compare the cost/retail of an inkjet print to...

True, I do have that advantage -- which is somewhat offset by the fact that I can't work on my personal photography or marketing full time (like, say, Michael A. Smith or Christopher Burkett) because...

I'd be interested in why Jensen doesn't follow his own advice as far as his magazine is concerned?

Paddy,

Actually, we do. It's a matter of perspective.

We print on a...

Michael,

I appreciate your position and respect your decision. Let me ask your indulgence for this lengthy comment.

I turn 52 next month. I've been seriously involved in fine art photography...
