Clive, 'serious' collectors are a strange 'animal', beyond the understanding of normal folk.

I agree, if I understand what you mean. I think another measure of value is what the picture means to the photographer, and by extension the viewer. If it brings pleasure to the person who took it, it's immensely valuable, if it brings pelasure to others, the value increases. Value is not simply the prvince of monetary, imho - define pleasure? I can't, a pic may bring distress to an individual but still have a measure of value - I personally value the work of Philip Jones-Griffiths in Vietnam, not sure I get pleasure from the torments represented in some, but in terms of value............ Phew, who bought me some strong beer? |

I wonder, was your lecturer going to hang the picture where he could enjoy it, or hide it away in a vault hoping that it will appreciate by more than the rate of inflation, or maybe take a chance by doing both? |

Define 'value', 'art' and where 'photography' fits into the first two all before breakfast eh - and after you've done that ask someone else opinion - head aching already

That's a slightly different question though Mark.
The original statement is that a print is only as good as what someone is willing to pay for it. If you give it away it doesn't make it worthless or a bad print because the question still stand, what would the receiver pay for it if they weren't given it. |
