Hi Steve.
That was a great idea. And then to go ahead and execute the project was sometime really rarely. Like the Pollock paintings your art was not about the photograph but about the process of giving away photographs.
(Pollock paintings are often about the process of painting).

MP3 300 LT differs with the highest level of torque the new engine (24 Nm vs. 21) achieved at a lower speed (5750 rpm as opposed to 6,500 by 250) in addition to the value of maximum power, which is pending at 22, 5 hp at 7,500 rpm .
The price has not yet been announced, but should not deviate much from the 6,000 euros required for the version 250. piaggio

Dear Steve:

I marvel at the reticence of your readers. Granted the festival is over, and the while human interaction thing is now past, but I have no friggin' shame. As an artist myself, though of the written variety (speaking of mongrels at he podium), I'd be delighted to exchange a copy of my book for one of your pictures.

If you check, used copies of "Politically Correct Cigar Smoking For Social Terrorists" is selling for as high as $107 on Amazon. (I kid you not.) I'd be delighted to trade one, autographed to you, for a print of yor choice. I am partial to scoter shots, or pictures of dogs.

Again, I did not get where I am today by being bashful. Neither did you, apparently, as you get to ride new motorcycles on the strength of your personality. Naturally, all your giveaway prints may be exhausted, in which case.I will wait until your next festival.

Fondest regards,
Jack • reep • Toad

Dom: I suspect they thought some scam was afoot. Maybe nexttimewe’ll push the scam angle.

I've been making personal photographs with no commercial value for years. Aside from the odd collector theyrealky do just live in boxes. Sharing them online reveals them to more people than would ever see them in a show. Giving few away had a Johnny Appleseed feel. Who knows what will happen.

As far as your other question--I don't think photography is a lesser form but that is not necessarily the opinion of others. I heard a few comments of dismay after winning that award.

Steve

the people’s reticence might have been that they suspected the prints being given away as bait for some kind of sales scam…..kind of like timeshares…
