I would put it to you that anyone buying an image does it because they can relate to it in some way and that way may just be its location, probably because it has memories for them. So whilst I agree that place name isn't required on the labeling of your print in the exhibition that doesn't mean that the place doesn't matter to the viewer. It may just be the sale clincher, you never know. |

For the record, Mike Heller's name isn't italicized on page 2 in the hard copy (mine arrived 10 minutes ago); but it's a minor point and the book looks well.

I'm waiting to see if I get a Christmas bonus in my pay packet, then I'll order either the soft cover or a hardback. From what I've seen of the preview, it looks good, and to be honest, I'm not bothered about the words - If I want to know more about a particular print, I can always ask here or contact the photographer directly.

Location descriptions in books.
What if you make images that are not of recognizable locations ? A lot of images made fall into this category and I'm sure a viewer of these images would be none the wiser if they were told where they were made. OK, for 'Mist over Snowdon' maybe, but 'Drain Hole Cover#3' would make you none the wiser. Neil.

I received my soft cover version in the post yesterday and I'm very pleased with it, having only the title and photographers name by the photo is in my opinion just right any more text would be a distraction.

If someone is truly interested in buying a print, I would be happy to tell them more than they want to know.

I got my copy today, good job well done!
But itīs a bit thin - to my taste there could be more images in it. Former issues were thicker, i.e. more photos... Perhaps I should participate again next year? ;-) |

I can't ever remember seeing a painter or gallery putting up information about the paint brushes or spatulas or brand of paint etc used to create the work. Only info about the medium such as watercolour oils, or acrylics or mixed media etc and that is usually only one or two words Last edited by Argentum; 10th December 2014 at 04:27 PM. |
