Not too long ago, prior to the discovery of photographs as another
product source for the art/gallery world, photographic galleries
labelled our work as we labelled it ourselves. Now, we have some late
comers coming in, as opposed to working with the pre existent syntax,
who are telling us the how's and what's concerning our work. It galling
to say the least.
After all, how is the size stated on the box of photographic paper?
