Then I stop selling it publicly, just as I have for that very reason. They're now by private sale only, in limited editions. It's not my loss, it's everyone else's loss. I could care less if I sell any more of my photography. I already earned more than I can ever use in a lifetime. Judging by those photography instructional books, the photography world would be a much better place if those authors pulled their books permanently. They're not even worth stealing. If it ain't worth stealing, it sure as hell ain't worth buying. Douggie ?? Sounded that way to me. |

I guess nothing will work, since you never did any photography in first place ... -Wolfgang |

More to the point, if he's earned more than he can use in a lifetime, why does he give a **** if anyone helps themselves to his stuff? Why go to the effort of selling privately? BEEEEEEEEEEYULL****! |

More to the point, a limited edition has the photographer's signature and accompanying notarized documentation, for ownership and establishing future provenance. Also, the signature cannot be duplicated unless you have access to a gas-chromatograph and an electron microscope. Even then it would be extremely difficult due to the minute traces of unique and inert compounds I add to one or more of the inks used for printing. Each run of prints having a unique ink-signature as well as another unique ink combination used for the handwritten-signature. A molecular combination lock if you will. I know enough about chemistry, technology, and forensics to have ensured this degree of difficulty to secure the ownership of my works. The fact that none of you even know how this works (limited editions for photography, even just by establishing a notarized provenance only) loudly proclaims your own words as nothing but more newsgroup-trolls' "BEEEEEEEEEEYULL****!" |

I bought two of Kelby's books early in my digital photo screwing around
career. They rapidly become insufferable due to his cutsy crap. About as bad as some of those "idiot's" books. did find one book that was useful and not insufferable, "Maximum Performance" by Mark Galer. |
