Myself as well. 11x14 is big enough for me, and that only for a few things. For people shots, if you can't hold it, you can't really SEE it or connect with it. I've always wanted to do a show where nothing was larger than 11x14 and most of the secondary images were 5x7 prints just lying on a table where people could pick them up and look at them, the way they share snapshots with friends.... but that's the journalist in me wanting viewers to connect, not with me, but with my subjects. I don't think it'd work so well for giant landscape projects. Wm Henry Jackson, for example, should never be presented in sizes smaller than 2-3 feet, and mural prints would be better. -- R.
