Vale Prints?

As a print exhibitor I am saddened and frustrated by the rapid decline in print exhibitions amongst the international exhibition circuits accredited by international bodies such as FIAP and the PSA. Coupled with the lack of respect shown by exhibitions not returning exhibition prints to their authors it seems to me that the demise of quality print exhibition is being exacerbated by short sightedness and the ease that comes with digital only exhibition.

It may appear trite, but I have yet to see a set of pixels hangiing on a wall for any to see at any time. It is always a pleasure to see old photographs on display in galleries and museums, will our desecendants be able to share that pleasure in fifty year’s time?

Musings 1

Welcome to the redesigned web site for Photography by Keith Seidel, previously known as kseidelphoto. This website will hold galleries of photographs as an online exhibition, details of photobooks, workshops and club presentations and lectures, and offers the opportunity to purchase prints or photobooks should that be of interest.

This page will also provide a venue for occasional musings on my part on matters photographic. The next post here will take up the cudgels on an issue dear to my heart - amateur photography’s lack of intent with regard to print exhibitions and treating print workers with the respect that is their due.

Catch you next time.
