That was evident weeks ago. He probably looked up how things are conducted on the internet which is way different from the traditional gallery scene and traditional existing gallery market. He was painting walls before he came upon this cache of so called Adams negs. But if you do some searching limiting your search to legitimate galleries which are real buildings with and have more than an internet address but a street address you've find the discrepancy between inkjet pricing and gelatin silver print pricing is often minimal with many of the best people. (the ones who call their Mom's weekly.) I had the quote about the negative is the score and the print the performance on my desk a few weeks ago I have this in mine often but also have in the back in my mind that in classical music the definitive recording to get of most modern serious pieces of music is not the one with the composer of the score conducting. Its almost always someone else. And quite a few composers are not well thought of as interpreters of their own work. This might have minimal bearing on the photography market. As in Graphics the idea of someone else taking over your plates or negs and doing a run after your dead is very very rare to medium rare. I cant think of any other exceptions than Edward Weston and his sons. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography mark at rabinergroup.com > From: Ken Carney <kcarney1 at cox.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Tue, 24 Aug 2010 19:14:10 -0500 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] more on the Earl Brooks vs AA negatives > > Interesting that a "digital" 16x20 print (inkjet?) is $1,500, but a > "silver gelatin darkroom print" is $7,500.
