Young artists are going to get the bulk of the attention and/or investment, cause I guess it's presumed that they have more energy to offer, or have the potential for a greater following. It's sort of like the movie All About Eve. Margo Channing wasn't a photographer. She was an actress, but ... she found it hard to be an old artist in the presence of the constant stream of youth churning around her.<BR/><BR/>But I think photography is unique among art forms, in that ... you can pick it up on your own. Painting, drawing, music, acting ... all require more training. Not to say photography doesn't require teaching. It does. But cameras are so ingrained into our culture that the door is more open for people of all ages to enter into photography ... than it is for other disciplines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38446021.post-20886310171114887742009-01-12T14:48:00.000-07:002009-01-12T14:48:00.000-07:00Dear Muse-ings I have just launched a new web-site...Dear Muse-ings<BR/> <BR/>I have just launched a new web-site http://www.oneofeditions.com and I wondered whether it might be something your readers would be interested in.<BR/> <BR/>We offer limited edition prints made by photographers, many of whom have international reputations or are showing promise at the beginning of they’re career. The idea of the site is to offer the chance to purchase the work of significant artists. These photographs are exclusive to oneofeditions, my intention is to give people an affordable entrée into the world of the contemporary photographic print collector.<BR/> <BR/>The site will offer a comprehensive overview of contemporary photography, encompassing photographers such as Richard Page, Dennis Gilbert, Clare Richardon, James Morris, Martina Mullaney as well as young talent, Huw Alden Davies being a prime example, with his cinematic images of Tumble. These are some of the artists involved so far.<BR/> <BR/>As well as selling to the public there will be an opportunity for design professionals looking for inovative, abssorbing, sometimes provocative images for they’re projects. I will also offer a search facility for those trying to source specific types of work.<BR/> <BR/>I hope this gives you an idea of what we’re about and is something that will interest your readership.<BR/> <BR/>Look forward to hearing your thoughts.<BR/> <BR/>Best Wishes<BR/> <BR/>Paul.<BR/><BR/>paul avis<BR/><BR/>info@oneofeditions.com<BR/>http://www.oneofeditions.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38446021.post-36662095792963125852009-01-09T13:58:00.000-07:002009-01-09T13:58:00.000-07:00It takes that long to realize my dogs also use pho...It takes that long to realize my dogs also use photographs...discussmike thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02904043955768682712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38446021.post-16171184495104640202009-01-07T12:20:00.000-07:002009-01-07T12:20:00.000-07:00Best thing I've heard about in a long time.

I could have written your post but didn't have this wonderful site to point to.
