"When you make a print, you are making an art object. You can’t hang a scan on the wall."

"One of these days, I'm going to publish a book of all the pictures I did not take. It is going to be a huge hit."

In this episode, Antonio and Ward focus on printing as a way of bringing photographs off the screen and into physical form. Using their recent conversation with Gavin as a starting point, they talk about books, zines, print exchanges, and the appeal of making photographic work tangible. They also discuss paper choice, including the look and feel of thicker fine art papers, and how printing decisions affect the final presentation of an image. 

The conversation moves into the practical side of selling prints. Antonio and Ward talk about questions around print fulfillment, whether to handle printing personally or use a service such as SmugMug, how much control a photographer should keep over size and presentation, and how to decide which images are right for sale. The episode centers on the process of moving from digital files to finished prints, and on the choices photographers face when they want to share or sell their work in physical form.
