Ik kwam deze weer eens tegen. Mijn 3 seconden beroemdheid op de NRC website.

From screen to Print: Why Physical Prints Still Matter in a Digital World

Sure, it sounds like well-worn wisdom. However, there’s an undeniable truth here. A carefully crafted print holds a presence that no amount of Instagram scrolling can replicate. A very different thing from a minuscule picture on Instagram.

I recently tested this in my studio. I let my Epson P600 work its magic on some Epson Exhibition-grade paper. As the prints emerged, each one came to life anew, showcasing subtle textures and gradients. The depths were something your phone screen could never quite capture. It’s like the difference between listening to vinyl and streaming music; there’s just something tangibly real about it.

Coming and Going by Jim Goldberg, collosal, consume in small bites

Coming and Going - Jim Goldberg

This is so cool. I look at the massive photo book (is it a photo book you may ask; more like a colossal collage book) Coming and Going by Jim Goldberg is so large that it is difficult to handle. The book is heavy, and the pages are enormous. Small photos are blown up over a spread; there are densely packed pages of images and text and blank pages with a small photo in the middle of the page. But it is brilliant. It inspires, saddens, and shocks; it is beautiful, sweet, and heartbreaking and follows each other in rapid succession.

Consume in small bites.
