Re: A naive question about signing/numbering prints

[Dan Culbertson <danculb@concentric.net>]

Thankfully I have no desire to sell limited editions of my Epson prints at
all since I don't believe artistic (verses crass commercial) value is added
by artificial scarcity.  But then I've been told I have no business sense
at all.  And I'm not rich either - go figure.

Yuck, remind me not to do *anything* in California except pass through
(though I wouldn't be surprised if just passing through becomes the excuse
for a tariff  -  if the state hasn't passed copyright protection and
started charging royalties on making images of the Sierras it will in a
year or two).  One of my least favorite state governments in the country.
Thank goodness no one needs to destroy plates or negatives given the
protection of the state!  As a Libertarian I'm not much of a fan of statist
and protectionist legislation, California style or others - to say nothing
of taxes.

Landscape in CA is quite grand though (lest I totally offend Californians
by knocking the government).  And it is certainly not the only state gov
with odious laws passed solely for special interest protection (we got some
strange ones here in Florida, re the arts and everything else!). When in
Rome -- run like heck for somewhere else.

Thanks for the link and info.
