Larry Berman replied to Jay Snively's discussion Zapp Image File Format and Resolution?
"pixels per inch do not determine an image size unless you are making a print. Monitors and digital projectors do not see the pixels per inch. They only see actual pixels in height and width.

"Thank you, Larry. Is there any benefit to uploading anything higher than 72 ppi?"
Larry Berman replied to Jay Snively's discussion Zapp Image File Format and Resolution?
"Always a JPEG 1920 long dimension if you only apply to monitor juried shows and 1920 square (with black borders) if you apply to projection juried and monitor juried shows.

"Shipping or not shipping is a personal decision. Of course if the customer wants it shipped it should be on them to pay for it. I don't ever eat the cost of shipping."
Bernard Zalon replied to Jay Snively's discussion Take Orders vs. Sell off the Wall?
"I make etchings. I certainly wouldn't encourage someone to let me ship something to them, but if that's what they want and they're paying the shipping cost I'll do it."

"Some shows have a rule that everything you have in your booth must be for sale at the show. I don’t know the reasoning behind this."
Larry Berman replied to Jay Snively's discussion Take Orders vs. Sell off the Wall?
"Depends on factors like weight and size. I knew a photographer that sold unframed matted prints so successfully that he did many 5 figure shows. Another photographer who tried his hardest to go home with an empty truck every weekend.

Take Orders vs. Sell off the Wall?
This question is for those who sell reproductions or prints (as most photography is done).Do you ever take orders as opposed to selling off the wall? If that doesn't make sense, here's why I ask...Let's say a person visiting my booth is interested in a framed photo on display. I'm considering encouraging the buyer to let me ship it to them for free. If they prefer to take it with them, I won't hesitate to let them do so.I know of an artist who does this successfully but that doesn't mean it…See More

"Before the Art Fair Source Book it was the only way to find shows because you could look up the weekends you had free.

"Nobody can do it for you and your medium. Read the reviews to general feel for your fit. Then do it. I too drew circles on US maps of 500, then 300 miles out. Now, after 20 plus years of trial and error the last 10 years or so have been eliminating…"

- I am a photographer. Most weekends, I’ll be in a different city. My large hanging pieces sometimes show wear and tear. I ask buyers if they will allow me to print new and ship. About 75% say yes. I include the shipping price (about $20 for a 45x30) in the cost. This has worked well for the past 13 years.
