Photographers who buy other photographers' prints

[BradS]

always on impulse...always more than I can afford. devoid of emotions and passion, art is empty, bankrupt.

[Ole Tjugen]

I may buy on impulse, since it has to really catch my eye if I'm going to pay money for a print.

But most of the prints I have I've got through the various exchanges.

[Maris Rusis]

Yes, I buy work from other photographers but I make sure that the item is a picture made from light sensitive materials. The word "print" always alarms me especially when I am about to spend some of my own money.

Things that look like photographs can be made by lithography, gravure, mezzotint, ink-jet, four colour web offset press, and dye transfer. These things are all prints but none of them are actual photographs. When the money goes down I always insist on the thing that was struck by light that bears the marks that make the picture. Most of my collection is gelatin-silver black and white photographs.
