Selling bromides vs giclees
It may be a nationality thing. My American friend, an abstract painter, tells me that New York City has a gallery selling photography on every downtown block. We compared notes about cities in Europe that we had visited - no comparison!

I suspect New York has the right, well seasoned in arts public. No wonder, it is a huge hub of culture. South Ontario, where I am is like the rest of the world. If you want to sell prints, better make them digital, contrasty with intense, awesome, fake colors. People are biologically drawn to strong colors and high contrast, it releases dopamine. Good b&w print on the other hand seldom triggers such a reaction, it requires a study "and who got the time" ? I don't sell, but when I show my prints to family and friends, all they see is contrast and that they "can see everything" but usually they don't see the picture subject. 10 seconds of watching, that's all what I can expect.
