Recently I was astonished at the difference between a book and online reproduction of the same size and print- let alone the actual print! Unfortunately, if you don't happen to live in a gallery/museum mecca- you're options are limited at best... This is so obvious it should be beyond mentioning.

We get so excited looking at the pictures in the web, it is easy to forget the beauty of a print. Other factors that contribute to the experience are the dimensions of the print ... it is quite different to see a 4x6 in print versus a 20x30 print ... some images work well big, others work better small ... the web doesn't have resolution to differentiate print sizes. ... thanks for the link ... I will refer to it in the post. Cheers! Miguel Hi noelrv and ahob

Yes, this is a real paradox. We get so excited looking at the pictures in the web, it is easy to forget the beauty of a print. Other factors that contribute to the experience are the dimensions of the print … it is quite different to see a 4×6 in print versus a 20×30 print … some images work well big, others work better small … the web doesn’t have resolution to differentiate print sizes.

… thanks for the link … I will refer to it in the post.

Cheers!

Great post! Lynch’s explanation/reaction is about the same way I feel when I see a photographer’s work in person and then re-discover it on their personal web page. It is almost ridiculous that we as bloggers sometimes feature a photographer’s work without even actually experiencing the work in person. However, this is the ultimate paradox of the Internet – to be able to experience an artist’s work that we would not be able to discover (due to location) in person. I think your quote is fitting when addressing the Internet’s ability to present: “You have seen only a possibility, but you have not experienced the performance.” Ha! Great post!
