It's been my experience that artists that make numbered series actually produce more prints of any single photograph than those that do not number. And unlike print making there's a huge burn out factor in producing an edition of 250 photographs. I'd really be hating that shot by the time number 250 is produced. Additionally, and just my opinion, it not really a series unless it's produced in one session, easy for a print maker impossible in the darkroom. darkroommike ---------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darryl Gage" <dgage@localnet.com> To: "List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students" <photoforum@listserver.isc.rit.edu> Sent: Saturday, July 05, 2003 7:18 PM Subject: Numbering Prints > Let's say I create prints from the same original negative in silver gelatin, > platinum, and gum bichromate.
