Rhetorical questions:
How many photographers need to use "clean white borders" before critics can consider white borders to be a tired old cliche of printing? How many photographers need to use black frames before critics can consider it to be yet another cliche? If "everyone" cuts the overmat so that its window is just outside of the print, is that also a cliche of printmaking? Which is the cliche: either cropping a negative or printing full frame? Does any of it really matter, or perhaps the photographer should experiment with several variations to determine which he/she feels is appropriate for the particular picture? _________________ _________________ (Michael Scarpitti) wrote in message . com... "k" wrote in message gers.com... I was wondering what is the most common method if displaying gallery work for 35mm full frame prints? I have seen some mat cuts where the window is just outside the 35mm print border? is this a common way of displaying 35mm full frame prints when you're doing mats? thanks. k. Print with clean white boders. Use a masking neg carrier. Forget this crap. Don't take crap from photo instructors. Think for yourself. |

The "Crop in the viewfinder" crowd like to show the raggedy edges of the negative to prove their art is "pure". Just decide what you want for YOU and get on with life. For B&W, I sometimes like the 'ragged' edge bit; but for color I prefer it to be hard edged. I have no hard preference, it is NOT important. Some images beg to be cropped following exposure. It's that simple. This cropping can be done by cutting the matte to effect the crop, masking during printing, cutting, whatever. Go to a few galleries and find the looks that appeal to you...

The only difference between SS and a pyramid scam, is that with a pyramid scam, all you have to do is hit, "delete", and go on to the next e-mail.....With SS, the government made a law that says you have to join whether you're smart enough to see through the scam or not........ |

That's the truth. At one time a very smart man named Russell Jalbert, who once worked for the Social Security Administration, said (paraphrase) "A good report from the Social Security Administration should be interpreted as 'the people have not risen up in a full revolution against it'. Yet!" Yes, he was bitter. The government is just waiting for the would-be beneficiaries to die off. Rather like the way they handled the Vietnam Agent Orange crisis. |
