Anyway, longlevity is not a top priority for me - things are more natural in a transient state.Juha Haatajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361255734892508254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500144491563926221.post-45180278056506675452011-02-17T22:55:47.666+02:002011-02-17T22:55:47.666+02:00Juha, just a short note on Ctein's advice to f...Juha, just a short note on Ctein's advice to frame: Longevity of a work of art is one important aspect, yet in private life (opposed to a collection or a museum) the experience of the immediate view on a photograph should not be underestimated. <br /><br />Since last year I started to get 10 prints every month of my images, 21x30 cm, and I do love to hold them in my hand - it's a completely different experience to the screen or a framed and glazed image on the wall. And whilst I have a series of my photographs on a wall in my flat under glass, I would select a different mounting for the next such project (which is purely theoretical due to the lack of wallspace). Up to now I haven't seen any glass that would not severely impede the view on the photograph.Markus Springhttp://markus-spring.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500144491563926221.post-123019400435404942011-02-17T19:46:58.094+02:002011-02-17T19:46:58.094+02:00I think Eric Hoffer wrote something related to thi...I think Eric Hoffer wrote something related to this in his book "True Believer" - haven't read the book so I'm not sure.Juha Haatajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361255734892508254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500144491563926221.post-74097493814235474342011-02-17T13:52:28.757+02:002011-02-17T13:52:28.757+02:00Interestingly I wrote something along these lines ...Interestingly I wrote something along these lines in a notebook on the way home today.<br /><br />In the United States' Declaration of Independence it mentions "the pursuit of happiness" as one of men's inherent rights. That has always struck me as an odd thing.<br /><br />As someone once said to me, pursue happiness long enough and you end up a sad, unhappy old man on his death bed wondering where all the time went.<br /><br />Especially like your photos today, Ice flowers and Blur in particular.Cedrichttp://aplop.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500144491563926221.post-16326511374113071362011-02-16T23:01:33.523+02:002011-02-16T23:01:33.523+02:00Juha, just a short note on your last sentence on f...Juha, just a short note on your last sentence on framing: In terms of longevity of the print Ctein for sure is correct, but that is not the only important aspect to consider. For another point of view just have a look at one of the landscapist's recent posts: http://landscapist.squarespace.com/journal/2011/2/11/civilized-ku-848-51-pictures-to-the-left-pictures-to-the-rig.html<br /><br />I personally do prefer to see my images without glass - I've never found any glass that would not take away from vibrance or sharpness or distract by reflecting. And for my usage it will be sufficitient if the prints last 40 years. <br />The only exception I would make for originals that can't be replaced. My Carl Weese platinum print is under glass, in spite of all the disadvantages. But I enjoyed it most when holding the bare paper in my hands.Markus Springhttp://markus-spring.infonoreply@blogger.com
