Limited Editions
Over the years I've created a number of limited edition books and portfolios. In a few instances these hand-made books are in an edition of one, but more frequently they are three to five. For instance, I made five limited edition books, each in an edition of three, that were for sale at my 1999 retrospective at The Witkin Gallery. These books were bound volumes of silver prints. All the books up to 2006 consist of silver prints; subsequent books are made up of ink jet images. I think the ink jet prints are far superior from the standpoint of being bound as a book. The paper is more flexible and easier to work with, both in terms of making prints and the binding process. The new capabilities offered by various Internet publishers in creating small runs of books lends itself to exciting possibilities that I'll undoubtedly explore in the future.
