On a related note: How many of the photographers on this list have experienced a decline in the sale of prints? My more or less "straight" prints seem not to hold up well against the more "exotic" photoshopped images one sees in so many shows now. I'm preparing a number of prints for a show next week, and in order to have a chance at competing with the digitized photoshopped images which are now all the rage, my partner (a mixed media artist) and I are attempting to produce images based on my prints and altered by my partner, using collage, colorizing by hand (as in the earlier generation portraits), overpainting, etc. Ken -- The Rev.
