Re: [Digital BW] OT - dating prints

Hi Richard - If you're signing your prints on the back, why not put all the
information there?  The convention in the art world is for work to be dated
from the time the work was completed, which in the case of photographs would
generally mean first printed.  Many photographers, though, are attached to
dating the work from when it was shot.  Either way, you could put a title
(if any) on top, then your signature, then a legible version of your name
(in case your signature can't be read, like mine) and then a line that says
"© 2005  print: 2006" for example.
