#photography nerditry

One of my interests is making very high resolution images of formally composed, often architectural subjects. This resolution is beyond what you can render on any current digital monitor. The intended output format is a large print.

Large prints are expensive to proiduce and inconvenient to display, but they provide a different and more layered viewing experience than you can get on a monitor. You're invited to take in the whole, but also to get close and explore details.

A few people have reacted with hostility to this, suggesting that it's pretentious to want photos to be viewed in a particular intended way. I find this weird. No one begrudges a painter for using large canvasses, and photography is no different from that.

Anyway, if you want to print my stuff, go ahead. And if you don't, that's cool too.

People are weird and illogical. I've long given up trying to understand it all.

For what its worth, I enjoy the images you post and appreciate your efforts :)
