An interesting article in NY Times concerning controversy surrounding prints from Seydou Keita negatives. A couple of interesting statements:
and"When it comes to photography, authenticity is artificial." (Julia Scully)
andthe resolution of photographic negatives is far greater than that of the prints made from them. The negatives, you might say, contain a far greater amount of information than can be shown, placing those who make prints in the position of having to select and suppress the information that will ultimately appear.
"Too often," he(Charles Griffin )says, "printers are influenced by the preference wealthy collectors have for highly graphic images."
