What's been on my mind lately, though, is the idea that a picture ISN'T FINISHED until it's printed and mounted. ..I guess what I mean, more specifically, is not so much that is isn't 'finished' or 'complete', but that - speaking photographically - it isn't a PICTURE! I think it truer that we refer to our works presented here online as "images". This has been on my mind much lately. This is because I've been studying the works of master photographers and printmakers. Have you ever read about Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946), and his lifelong work and passion to get photography respected as art? We should maybe have more discussions here about printing and mounting photographs. We could also learn about how to go about getting our works on display.
