Recently, our community hosted a 3 day arts fair representing artistic works in all media including several photographers.
Briefly, those photographers showing their art ranged from gum bichromate prints to straight bw silver gelatin prints to what is called colored "post card", "travel photos" & Impressionistic PS images.
My observation regarding the two specific catagories (post card & travel photos) is thus: 1) bigger is better, 2) printing is done on a 9600 Epson or the like ,3) the colors are very, very saturated, almost beyond reality towards a overtly paintingly look, 4) the use of stretch canvas to which the image is asfixed in printing.
It is #4 which I direct to your attention out of curiosity, ie, the use of stretch canvas. Is this in vogue these days????? what are your observations re: this & above?? Please contribute to this question. I thank you for your responses.
PS (if you wonder where I am media wise, I'm of the straight bw documentary silver gelatin camp)
