Both of the galleries where I have displayed asked me to set a limit
for prints and to number those I hung. I set all my series numbers at
25. I had sold a couple of some of the prints prior to the show, so I
started some series at three or four. It seems to be standard practice
in the world of fine art prints.

Hi all,
Someone at my opening on Friday asked if my prints were part of a
limited edition. They aren't--I think that whole concept is a bit
silly. It was silly when using negatives, it is even sillier now,
printing digitally.
Now, I actually haven't printed more than 4 or 5 of any of my
photographs. So making them limited editions of 50, or even 25, would
be easy (and meaningless.) It seems like this would add "value" to my
pictures though, for some reason not really related to their content.
I'm actually thinking about doing this--meaningless as it is, it's
also free for me...
What are the thoughts of the list about this?
Cheers,
