A local museum has a substantial collection of Gordon Parks. Once, the 
director showed me one print, ans said that the backs of all the others were 
identical. Each bore the rubber stamp "Time-Life photo lab, negative number 
xxxx"

I believe you can still buy prints of their stuff, just as you can buy a 
large number of prints from the NYT's collection.

Or, to give it the opposite spin, with respect to the thrust of the 
conversation about photographers rather than printers, every minute spent in 
the darkroom is a minute not spent at the viewfinder.
