Re: [Cameramakers] ELF cameramaker survey
Hey Murry, I can't agree more with your post. My friends look at me like I'm nuts. I've sat with them trying to explain and they just don't see what we see I think it takes a trained eye to enjoy the nuances of detail and clarity in big contact prints. Hell, most folks are happy with 4x6 prints from Costo.. You said it best... this isn't a hobby, it's a disease Cheers Robin Uptown Gallery wrote: I am curious what those of you out there in Camera-Land interested in Extremely Large format (like the16x20 and 20x24) do with the photos... are some of you studio professionals or in galleries elsewhere and sell them or are you amateurs and populate your own walls? My day job is in a techical field and most of the people (one guy went to photog. school had a Graphic Reflex years ago) there seem absolutely bewildered by my interest in this, or even 4x5 format. I can't explain my interest in it - I hope I can produce something that justifies the effort. I am also curious how much room length those of you with horizontal enlargers need.

Gene, I have a friend who is pursuing a similar strategy... He notified the Republican Party in Ohio that he would offer his services for free... All of a sudden he is taking pictures of Judges, Politicians, Well known wealthy contributors and party members... He attends fund raisers, does photos for their campaign and publicity shots..Of course every one gets a card and a 8x10 copy of the photo for free.. He has done this for several years now... Now they are calling him for their weddings, sportsevents, and personal stuff in which he gets what he asks... It is a great stratagem I think if you can afford to hold out it will pay off..He has created a very unique portfolio of some very wealthy, powerful , interesting people.. John Cremati
