forum members want to continue to receive my occasional jury tips

A moral dilemma for a show director
A show has a rule that no reps are allowed. A sculptor wasn't allowed
in because last year he sent a relative while he did another show.
This year he was not accepted and told it was because he had sent
someone else with his work the year before. Personally I feel that's
like locking the barn door after the horse has already escaped. From
my point of view, he should have been denied admission on the year he
wasn't there, or the rep made to pack up and not be able to sell.
Then he should have been told that he could do the show again if he
were there personally. That would be fair but that's another story.
There was another booth at the same show this year without the artist
present. This artist always does the show sending reps while doing
other shows on the same weekend. When the committee was asked about
it, they said it was because this artist always gives a large piece
for the auction in exchange for being able to send reps and the show
has made a lot of money from the sale of this artist's work.
Like I've been saying. Art shows are about the money more than the
art.

Booths again
We should call this space the monthly booth issue area
I cleaned up a "grab" booth shot for an artist the other day. When I
uploaded it into his profile I noticed that the only three shows he
had applied to were Cherry Creek, St Louis and the Plaza. You'd think
an artist that only applied to the top shows would take more care in
how they do their booth slide.

Two EZ-Up's trashed in one weekend

An artist tells the story of having two EZ-Up canopies trashed in one
weekend and ends up purchasing a Trimline. Includes links to news
clips of the storm damage.

Jury slide photographer paints out reflections on silver jewelry
This is really about telling artists the truth about their jury
images. I made a post about this on Art Fair Insiders, posting a
picture of the painted on sliver jewelry. Because I couldn't name the
photographer on a public forum for fear of getting into a law suit, I
asked that if anyone was interested in knowing which photographer
would do such an incompetent job to give me a call. Well, it seems
that someone on the forum contacted one of the jury slide
photographers, who took offense in my post. You can read the thread
on Art Fair Insiders but understand that the photographer who
responded was not the one who screwed up.

What I don't understand is why the artist's ability to get into art
shows is not the primary goal of every one connected in even a
peripheral way to the art show industry, especially the photographer
you hire to take pictures of your artwork.

Ann Arbor
Unfortunately not much to talk about. Attendance and sales were
dismal due to the high temperatures. The coolest day was 91.

Google Image Search
Google has a new image search engine that's very accurate in finding
out if any of your images are appearing on other peoples web sites.
There's a good article about it on this web site:

For those artists that have been having difficulty e-mailing me their
full size images, I've created an image upload form at
http://cts.vresp.com/c/?LarryBerman/f504e3e54e/0bcba344c1/513b3eb98e
The form can take JPG's or TIF files up to 32 megabytes each. If you
shoot RAW, you can add a TIF extension and the image will upload.

Jury Slide Photography
Here are a some examples of my jury slide photography:
http://cts.vresp.com/c/?LarryBerman/f504e3e54e/0bcba344c1/2da6b6da9e
My prices are reasonable and includes the Photoshop work and
formatting for ZAPP and JAS and uploading them for you. I also
include the full size TIF files on the CD along with any other sizes
you may need, like for your web site. If time permits, I put the
images up on a private web page as I shoot so you know what you're
getting and can approve it.
