Amatuer Photos: BRILLIANT coLOKS: Exceptionally bright colors, especially reds, yellow, and blues. In landscapes, rich blue skies; not gray or muddy.
NEEDLE SHARPNESS: amatuer photos must be sharp for good enlargement. Some of our pictures are blown up from 4 to 6 diameters.
CORRECT EXPOSURE AND PROCESSING: These are musts. amatuer photos must be tops from a technical and reproduction standpoint. It will save time and shipping costs for both of us if you eliminate transparencies that do not measure up.
STRONG SIMPLE COMPOSITION: The best calendar pictures are simple in composition, with not too many elements in them competing for the eye's attention. Trying to get too much into a picture makes it "busy," weakens its pictorial and shoot the desired pictures as opportunities present themselves.
I am tired of Photography for the public, particularly composite amatuer photos, for there can be no gain and there is no honor but cavil and misrepresentation. The next Exhibition must, then, only contain Ivied Ruins and landscapes forever besides portraits-and then stop.
This room is neat and clutter free but, to reinforce the Thirties theme, there are two old amatuer photos in Deco-style frames on the mantelpiece. The round Mirror above, hanging from the picture rail, completes the look.
