Photography at the County
by Joe Nalven
October 15, 2007
"In looking at many events and exhibitions, digital art is sometimes housed by
itself, sometimes with all media and sometimes with photography."

Printer Cleaning and Ink Changing
Cycles
by David Saffir
February 1, 2007
"In my view, the hidden costs of inkjet printing can be summed up in one word:
waste. In a moderately busy photography studio, this can amount to hundreds of dollars per
year."

Tipping the Point:
Digital Art Becomes Art Made Digitally
by JD Jarvis
May 25, 2006
"...The question we have to ask ourselves as 'digital artists' is: Are we ready
to go out without the imaginary sunscreen of some hipster technology? Are you ready to risk being
burnt because the art might be lacking and not because it was made by unpopular or misunderstood
means?"

Image and Absolute
by Pepper Trail
November 25, 2004
"...There is a growing movement that asserts that such manipulation, when
unacknowledged, amounts to falsification, and undermines the veracity of nature photography as a
documentary medium."

by JD Jarvis
February 1, 2004
"...Perhaps the most important thing about current digital art is not how it
looks, but who is making it and why."

Parsing the Good:
What Makes Good Art Good?
by Sean Kernan
December 2, 2003
"...If really good work enlivens and stretches and changes the mind, if it
touches everything in us, then that's all the reason we need to seek it out and think about it
and try to make it ourselves."

Levels of Abstraction:
Are Your Photographs "Real"?
by Michael Reichmann
July 8, 2003
"...For some reason there are photographers who believe that photographs and the
real world have more than a passing relationship to each other. When they see a photograph that
has been in some visible way altered, modified or manipulated, they cry
"foul" - taking on the mantle of protectors of the sanctity of the inviolate image..."

What Size Is the Edition?
by Brooks Jensen
February 10, 2003
"...There is, however, one question that I believe is worthy of discussion
because it's a practical question that influences the photographer's entire career--'How many
prints should be made of a given negative, and, should they be limited and numbered?'"

Viewing the World Differently:
A Photographer Appreciates the Digital Camera Advantage
by Larry N. Bolch
December 28, 2002
"...Moving from an SLR to a Leica took months before I comprehended that it was
not an inferior way of focusing and composing, but just a different way with
its own unique blessings. When I realized this, bells went off, sirens blew,
and lights flashed. The same thing happened when I fully comprehended
digital. It requires a whole new way of seeing that is way beyond the
capability of SLRs, rangefinders, and view cameras."

An Art Lover's Guide to Digital Art
by JD Jarvis
December 3, 2002
"...Art is not about the tools used to make it; but in the organization of
color, line, form, composition, rhythm and the interplay of all these in
support of the subject matter or intent of the work itself. These are
the basic and well established tenants of visual art and as fundamental
to digital art work as to the cave paintings of Lascaux."
