Paper

Photographers are obsessed with paper…okay this photographer is obsessed with paper. Yes, the paper that photographs are printed on. In the days of the wet darkroom there were choices but not really that many. Today, in the digital age, the choices, like everything digital, are numerous, too numerous. I study the surface of the paper, the texture of the paper, the weight of the paper, how the light reflects off the paper, as if somehow the paper is really going to change that crappy picture into a lasting piece of art. Oh and now I’m sniffing paper. No, I don’t know, really I don’t know.
