The best slide presentations make your work stand out from the thousands of slides a jury may have to watch. A good photograph can make a mediocre piece of work look outstanding. A place in some of these shows can be worth thousands of dollars in potential sales, and it can hinge on the booth slide. Just applying is generally about a $20 fee. I think it does take some investment in time and equipment, and a photographer who has some idea of what is needed. It helps to sit through a slide screening. Personally, I think the booth slide is over-rated. A professional craftsperson who does good work would want to exhibit it well also. ----- Original Message ----- From: <PhotoRoy6@aol.com> To: "List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students" <photoforum@listserver.isc.rit.edu> Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 10:16 AM Subject: Re: craftsmen's booths at fairs > In a message dated 6/7/02 1:47:08 AM Eastern Daylight Time, jbjerkan@fcs.net > writes: > > << he lighting set-up was good, but > it was a poor representation of the work and display, and thus not much use > as part of an application. >> > By poor representation you mean the items were too small?
