One of the many things that delight me about the Web (and the reason I get back to this blog, even though very seldom), is that things sometimes stay where they were, even for seven or so years.
Printed light: photographic vision and the modern print was exhibited from July to November, 2004, and the pages are still there! The introduction page is pretty unglamourous, but those plain-looking links lead to some very good things, most of the time.
The essay (links are provided at the top of each page to most of the other pages, including this one) explains the relationship between photography and printmaking, and includes one of my favourite images, [Grant’s], by Richard Estes.
Gallery leads to a short list of works with brief descriptions of the artwork shown and links to enlarged images, which, sadly don't have a magnifying glass for closer examination of details.

Artist Interviews Reached through video link http://www.nga.gov.au/Exhibition/Transformations/Default.cfm?MnuID=8&GalID=Vid

Once you find them, the videos are of artists describing their work. There are also images of the work that can be enlarged. I found it useful to look at the images in a separate window while I read the description.
