Its quite unusual for any photographer to make an edition of
250. A silkscreen printmaker perhaps, but a b/w photographer working on silver
print - not very likely. An edition of this size would also significantly
reduce the value of the image.

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.

Let's say I create prints from the same original negative in silver
gelatin,
platinum, and gum bichromate. Would each of these categories constitute a
different series or should they all be grouped together as one series? Or
should I just count myself lucky if I sell anything and not worry about
numbering the prints? Thanks.
