The Cost Of A Print
George Barr muses about the “hidden” costs of producing prints for sale at Behind The Lens:
One of the things you need to do if selling your work is to be realistic about the cost to you of each print – both in terms of dollars and time…
Follow the title link to the full post – it is quite a list, and includes many items that some folks may not think of when they see the cost of a high quality professional print.

The Still-Life Mentor to a Filmmaking Generation
A New York Times article on Jerome Liebling:
For much of a half-century of taking quiet, subtly powerful pictures that demand and reward long looking, Jerome Liebling has been known as a photographer’s photographer. The label is both a high compliment and an acknowledgment that Mr. Liebling, now 82, has not enjoyed the acclaim accorded to many of his contemporaries who first took their cameras to the streets of New York after World War II.
An advantage of being “untrained” in photography (my academic background is in a different field) is that I can still “discover” photographers that everyone else probably knows about already. This article (and the accompanying Ken Burns multimedia clip) introduced me to Liebling’s wonderful images. (Thank you to The Online Photographer for the link.)
