Jim Megargee: Interview with a Master Printer

Hippolyte Bayard's blog recently ran an interview with Jim Megargee, a New York-based master printer and founder of MV Labs. A teaser quote for you all:


"With a silver gelatin print you are placing the image into the paper – not on top of the paper. [...] It is what people are usually referring to when they say there is something 'different' between a well printed ink jet and a well printed silver print.
They are responding to the physical nature of the printed images." 


Read the interview here, and be inspired to push your printmaking technique, whether it be digital or traditional methods.

Here's a couple of Megargee's photos that I enjoyed.
