Matte digital prints are gorgeous, don't you agree? But the glossy digital prints, I just can't stand that paper.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't like glossy covers.
I love that works of art are printed so that anyone can buy them. The variety of what they put on little postcards astounds me.
A beautiful print is a thing in itself, not just a halfway house on the way to the page.
For me the printing process is part of the magic of photography. It's that magic that can be exciting, disappointing, rewarding and frustrating all in the same few moments in the darkroom.
It is to be noted that when any part of this paper appears dull there is a design in it.
The digital print is becoming the look of our time, and it makes the C-print start to look like a tintype.
Digital books are still painfully ugly and weirdly irritating to interact with. They look like copies of paper, but they can't be designed or typeset in the same way as paper, and however splendid the cover images may look on a hi-res screen, they're still images rather than physical things.
I admit that I am hopelessly hooked on the printed newspaper. I love turning the pages and the serendipity of stumbling across a piece of irresistible information or a photograph that I wasn't necessarily intending to read.
I just love the whole idea of conversational prints.
I love vintage and prints.
