For most of the history of photography, prints were the only real way to look at photographs. This goes all the way back to the daguerreotype. For more than a century, we’ve relied on the printed medium as the gold standard method for displaying our work. Of course, with time, that evolved. We developed new printing technologies, and we started printing pictures not just to frame, but to display in books,
newspapers and magazines, too. Even so, short of peering at negatives, the photograph had to be printed to be sold, displayed or viewed by an audience of any type.
That was then. What about now?
