Dear Shannon,
I predict a great future for you in Art Photography. You have mastered
the language and can sell anything that you produce. Your next smart move
will be to reduce capital and consumable costs to the lowest figure possible
consistent with staying out of gaol and then raise the selling price to the
maximum. You can judge this by increasing the sticker price by $ 500
increments each time you exhibit a print for sale. Go up the the point where
the buyer blenches and loses control of a major muscle group and then back
it off by $ 100.
Remember that everything is now archival, provided you are the one
keeping the archive. This is akin to the practices that Hifi manufacturers
used to employ in the 1970's when it was a race to see who had the most
output power. Ever higher figures were quoted in ever larger type with ever
smaller qualifying statements at the bottom of the ads. Formulae for
calculating outputs available from tiny power supplies were imported from
famous scientists in the Maldives and up the Orinoco. When one sought those
scientists for confirmation of their measured results they had just been
taken by a crocodile or were being thrown into the local volcano for Lent.
Learn to obscure the science.....
Also remember that nothing says quality like a good framing job and
nothing frames better than cardboard, Saran Wrap, and duct tape.
