Slides...Copywork and submissions, Rates?

2003-05-07 by Lyons Cox

I've noticed most venues are still using slides for entry.  Makes a certain amount of sense to me.  Especially since most people haven't developed a good single glance contact sheet in digital form.  I can therefore understand that galleries don't want to open each file, etc.

?? What's the going rate for having slides made ??  Or are you charging to make slides ??
?? When you have a digital file, I'm presuming making a slide of the print, just as you would a silver ??
?? When doing slides yourself are you bracketing like crazy to be sure ??
?? When doing slides yourself HOW MANY slides are you trying for of each work to have on hand ??

The show at our local community college of photography opening this weekend is a complete mix of traditional and digital.  I suspect the 'amateur' market is quicker to take up the digital.  The 'professional' has already been hit with the benefits of digital in certain aspects of his work long ago.  The "advanced amateur" is hanging a bit, if they are undecided about their 'career' goals.

Curiously,
Cleavis
