I went to college with Dan and we share the same printers for the big un's. Michael Dyers in Covent Garden, nothing beats them for big hand prints.marcus doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14433412157537540815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-850192363217473952.post-66204644020957682512010-02-16T21:38:03.985+00:002010-02-16T21:38:03.985+00:00Coincidently I up-sized to 10x8 recently also!
But...Coincidently I up-sized to 10x8 recently also!<br />But yes, I could not agree more..<br />I do not think digital has been overly positive for photography..<br />It has it's place no doubt (i love my new pocket-sized Canon S90 with its brilliant aperture ring) and i think that camera represents the best of digital photography- small, quick and clever.. but that is pretty much where the love ends for me..<br />What you haven't mentioned is the flippant attitude towards making photographs now, newer photographers (i mean, the generation who have never ever touched film) have no feeling for the controlled pace that you get from working analogue... and the thought of really taking care over you images (taking months of careful preparation or waiting just for that single click) its like a completely different language to them... And I think this has a knock-on effect, it's not surprising that photographers who are used to clicking a few hundred times a day (and pressing delete almost as much) and working mostly with images on the screen, are going to be sloppy with the printing...<br />Printing is my biggest gripe, as for me, the print MAKES the photograph, in my opinion it should be a beautiful object just like a sculpture - hence i'm determined to only have true hand-prints made using the 10x8, show people how stunning a print really can be..<br /><br />the show 'Crash' at the Gagosian showcases some stunning giant handprints from Dan Holdsworth and Vera Lutter..Andrew Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13574203410585297073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-850192363217473952.post-13909728157249418912010-02-16T20:01:12.688+00:002010-02-16T20:01:12.688+00:00Mr Brook,
