Painting stories
So, my school does an art publication called "Reflections" twice a year. I didn't manage to submit anything in the fall, but this time around, I had a piece ready. I suppose you have seen my painting of St. Al's. Anyway, I e-mailed it to them, and shortly thereafter I recieved a reply….
Chris,
Hello! I a question for you. Should some of your photography be chosen for publication, will you be able to provide the originals? You see, we have to resize the photos for print, and in order to ensure the best quality of representation in Reflection, we try to scan the photos ourselves. The goal is to get as close the original as possible after going through scanning and reprinting on a different medium. Let me know. Thank you!

I appreciate this a lot, but I still sent back an e-mail saying that, actually, it wasn't a photo, and if she looked carefully, she could see the brushstrokes from Photoshop. I hope I get published!
