...If buying at a sidewalk art fair from a guy that looks "fly by

I don't know Steadman, if he had that suit...

...IF on the other hand the photographer was an established 
professional (as you are) or a "local" artist, I would feel more 
secure in the transaction.  If the guy is traveling from town to town 
in a RV selling prints...it may be a harder  judgement call on the 
buyers part.

I'm hearing about injet prints used by some of the biggest names in 
the art world. I'll bet there is no replacement garauntee of any kind.
We're subjected to this kind of scrutiny because we have no name. I 
don't mean to imply we should care less about what we are selling, or 
that I think a big name selling a print I think will fade is 
acceptable.
But those of us still prying our way into some kind of art market are 
the ones burdened with fighting this particular fight.
If Seranno went inkjet and they faded here's what would happen...
1) Serrano would still have his money, and the galleries and museums 
will still flock to see whatever he next excretes.
2) Any new artist presenting inkjets to a gallery or museum will be 
faced with additional resistance because of the "serrano debacle"

I just saw some great prints in a museum made from pie filling, why do 
we continually have this issue flung in our faces?
