And now it has been in Toronto, Canada. One more the juried art show is over, and lasted for three days.

The similar to previous post about the same matter: around 4 boots with photography, 6 boots with digital imaging, and around 10 boots with painting, and around 10 watercolor. Other boots are other and around 50 of them. It used to be interesting, but it is over. Photography was represented with one good photog working in color, and one former PJ with pictures, SG, from John Lenon as he (JL) visited Toronto, and he sold one his print for $300.

What came to my eyes is that photography shown is so far behind lower average in this area, and technically and aesthetically. Good photographers do not go any more on that kind of shows, and why they will?

Painting 30x40 cm sells for around $3000 (average one) from self-taught painters, framed.

Digital imaging is as you can imagine. And only they had large strip with “Art photography” in front of the boots. Nor it is art nor photography, but God will forgive them. I even asked one digilux why it is so expensive ($150 around 8 x 10), “because it is artwork man”. Why you think it is art, and her eyebrows somehow got together and she answer with question “do you think it is not art?”. Well, time to go.
