AIPAD 26 has concluded; press releases are at this link. YT will have public lectures… YouTube.com/AIPADPHOTO

I used AIPAD in the early 80’s as a sales place, a customer finder, a watering hole.. it is a trade organization, a gathering spot for showing wares. A showcase of the stable. As it is these things it attracts young or mid- career photographers. I found people in need of printing I also talked with some gallerists .. these people formed a small part of my contact and mailing list. I knew that if they knew about me but didn’t contact me or only wanted a price list, they weren’t a likely customer. I didn’t know that at first, but I learned. I also learned that going to trade shows and being on the floor isn’t as effective as being outside the trade-show talking with people gathering and discussing non-floor portfolios…

Beginnings1965: MFA fine arts photography within schools of art, and within universities with an art school
had to proceed a trade-show given to selling photography for the wall.
First comes understanding, next comes standing. The studio experience is key to the growth of photography as a wall art. It took approximately 15 years of art schools teaching photography as a studio art before there were enough galleries selling photography for there to be an association such as AIPAD.

The mature market for photographs as collectible items, as museum items, required the university and the educated collector .. The person prepared to treat a photograph as a fine art on paper suitable for putting on their wall.. work that they would live with; not the sterile work found in offices, but the vibrant work found in the home of the dedicated, mature collector.. beyond the sunset and moon-rise… more, some morning soon.

photographs are always colorized, it’s just that some tell better color lies
