I totally agree - it’s not quite real if it’s not printed. It’s an e-photo not a photo and you are never going to look as closely or as long at a digital image as you would the real thing.
True words! You wrote that well!
Something that in my opinion is also a part of it is the smell of an original baryte print.
When I open my box with the baryte prints there is a smell of manual labor, physical presence, reality inferior to an ongoing aging process.
You can not touch digital data and there is no aging process that corresponds to the natural course of things.
Is there even existence without aging? :)
Indeed. I just realised I don't even really think of it as a photo if it isn't a print.
