Just what is the purpose of printing a photograph anyway? Is it to make
a buck? Is it to show off? Is it to prove something? Is it to be
creative?
I can and will most likely never understand how someone can create a
message, deliver it intact, and expect it to represent their original
thinking when someone else is involved with the production.
Certainly there are some fantastic collaborative works, even
masterpieces. However it seems that when the work becomes a production,
cranked out by apprentices or hired printers, or hyped, it's a sham, a
scam, and a disservice to those who honestly should be heard (or seen).
I think Richard's proposal (signing by all parties) is a good one.
Let's know who the collaborators are. Lets us also take up arms against
those who rip us off.
