Often you put a number with your signature on or behind your print 6/35 means its the sixth print out of a run of 35. But a recent controversy is pointing to the fact that that is only an edition of that size print normally. I'm sure you have a document in writing. As most documents tend to be. Spec filly telling the investor why his investment is so valuable. All of this is totally unnatural to what photography is all about. In most print making forms 6/35 has meaning as its early in the run when the plate or silk screen is fresh. Later in the run it would be softened up a bit and have less value. You could read a whole book on graphics marketing it but a photo negative or digital capture only makes a limited edition because its more convenient for the gallery owner to make money. Its an affront to the work itself. As run photography is capable of is infinite. Which is a long way away. I'm with Ansell Adams on this opinion. Myyy PRECIOUSSS.
