The Art Market in reccession ?

Posted on Nov 12, 2007 2:48 AM

**I want to bring Black and White Photo Art back in the main stream. Its the only affordable Art investment that yields substantial Dividends. Photo Art is the Latest craze in the Art Market.
**The Current Art market is in a recession. In New York last week Nov 10 2007, Sotheby's was particularly rattled by the lackluster evening: its share price plunged the next day by 38 percent. The company on Friday reported that, mainly due to a 14.6 million dollar loss on guarantees for this week's auction, it recorded a third quarter loss of 20.9 million dollars, third-quarter loss shrank to $20.9 million, or 33 cents a share, from a net loss of $30.7 million. Christies took some Losses in their Art auctions as well.
**Don't miss out on chance to invest in one of the fastest growing sectors of Modern Contemporary Art. Now is the time to update your Art portfolios. The Black and White Photo Art, they are on the Walls. On the streets, the Bulls are on the run, only the wise will take heed.

Where are all of the Color Photographs ?

Posted on Nov 8, 2007 12:40 AM

In our high tech world Digital Photography is here to stay. Our main stream has embraced the ease it allows to take pictures. But most people fail to realize that digital images are merely copies of a scene recorded in pixels. No matter how advanced technology evolves, our method of recording digital images will never stand the test of time. In fact, most all Photos have a tendency to oxidize. Oxidation occurs when air borne particles deplete the colors in any thing that contains color pigments. All computer generated photos are more susceptible
to this phenom. The pigments are place on top of the print paper.
Black and white Photos are immune to oxidation due to their nature and their process.
Black and White photos are comprised of Silver particles that can't fade. So when you look at a Black and White Photo it doesn't contain any White or Blacks.
The color are inherent because of the combination of specks or spots of Silver particles that accumulate after being
exposed to light in the development stages. This is the primary reason for their permanence and durability. Black and White Photographs will make a come back to our main stream over time.

When history reflects back on todays digital photographs the most will already faded.
I have developed a 2 Zone Technique that adds to the excitement of the revival of Black
and White Photography.
