People are bringing prints of all sizes along for the ride. Surprisingly at this point very few injets but i bet this yere will be different. But plenty of fiber prints, RC black and white prints and "darkroom" color prints some quite large. Last year I brought 16x20 fiber prints thinking people would think i was being bombastic but my prints overall were dwarfed on the tables we all lay our prints and portfolios on. Many others printed biggger. But there's lots of carrying around our stacks of prints and showing them in hallways and in the hotel restaurant. And people bring their prints on the busses for the tours. Seeing pixels on the screen is very frustrating as you're really not seeing anything. "Gee your mom has a nice smile" But looking at real prints at such a setting as the LHSA meetings is quite exciting and inspiring. LHSA Meetings It's not just about cameras anymore.
