The last time we saw these photographs by Bryce Krynski was as large-scale 42" prints for his exhibition "mass market krappy kamera lonesome land", which was shown at the Christine Klassen Gallery as part of the 2024 Exposure Photography Festival . Now they are back on our table at a comparatively tiny 7.5" - and no less awesome for it! It's always neat seeing projects come around again, and to get to observe how scale changes the impact of a print. The almost cameo-like quality of the smaller prints lets us see these images in a whole new way.

At RHPS, we use a lot of digital technology, but we also unabashedly love paper. The tools may be high tech software & hardware, but the end result that people walk away with & experience for years is ink on paper.

David Sax, in his book The Revenge of Analog: Real Things and Why They Matter, writes the following in his chapter "The Revenge of Paper":

"... Paper has existed, in one form or another, for thousands of years. It is the backbone of the economic, cultural, scientific, and spiritual core we call civilization. [...] Our relationship to paper is older, deeper, and more varied than any other analog technology out there. [...] While paper use may have shrunk in certain areas since the introduction of digital communications, in other uses and purposes, paper's emotional, functional and economic value has increased."

As fine art printmakers, we're admittedly biased, but we believe it's for good reason. Pigment on paper brings durable material and aesthetic qualities that remain unsurpassed in delivering an expressive, emotional experience. For all of the immediacy and global reach of digital imaging and the Internet, this is an area where paper is superior.

When the image matters, print it!
