Nash started collecting photographs in the 1970s, and eventually sold the bulk of his collection in 1990 to fund and co-found the creation of Nash Editions, a digital fine-arts lithographic firm that used some of the most advanced scanning and printing equipment in early days. The company continues to operate today.
