that's what individual art buyers want, i guess, but i don't. that what 
Galen Rowell called "Dead Guys Who Shot B&W" the ultimate limited edition. 
being identical means they are exactly what i want someone to see and not 
just my best effort, or whoever did the printing.

For what purpose are they not good enough? The galleries I've visited that 
sell BW prints take great pride in the fact that each print is unique in 
that it was created  by hand. That's part of what makes wet prints more 
valuable to art collector's Each print has a personality and a history of 
its own. They are not merely clones. Don't get me wrong. I'm a big fan of 
the digital workflow and inkjet printing, but I appreciate the artistry of 
the darkroom.
