Hi Keith -- yeah, I saw your name on the list today -- I meant to mention it. Congrats! It's been a hectic day -- I got caught in the train problems during this morning's commute. I like your photo -- the person in the foreground is quite a character! I wish I had a gallery for generating $30 entry fees!

Hey Dan! You beat me to posting, and I didn't want to take over your party!

Yeah, a gallery that generates $30 entry fees would be grand! Oh wait, there is, Jen Bekman Gallery. The "Hey Hot Shot" photo competition. I read that she makes a pretty penny on that and portfolio reviews. Years ago I paid her for a portfolio review. She took my money and "lost" my appointment. When I presented her with my Paypal receipt, she had her secretary say she wasn't in and she wouldn't accept my phone calls.

When I do these paid juried shows, I am very particular who I will shell out money to. I have showed with PhotoPlace Gallery before. They are very legit and extremely nice. I had some problems with an image returning to me and they went out of their way to make sure everything was shipped correctly.

No worries about parties 🙂 That's funny!

Paid portfolio reviews are a vile scam. It's like a doctor paying the patient. However the PSPF in NYC, if you want to meet one or two people from specific galleries -- that one can be okay -- just really watch how you spend your money.

I've participated with the PhotoPlace before as well. Yes, they're nice. Never sold a photo with them -- what I do is tell them to destroy the photo because I don't want to pay for return shipping. It's kind of a double-edged sword 🙂 if they accept your work -- because then you're out the entry fee plus the cost of a print -- but okay, if you budget say $300 a year or so for these things, and choose carefully... and if you can do an inkjet ah-hem I mean archival pigment on your own printer -- then you get out for under $50 all-in. And they have their own frames - big bonus.

I figure, at least I'm putting a few images in front of some decent judges -- they seem to get good judges -- so who knows, maybe it could lead to something...

 

[kbg32]

Yes, totally agree. I've had some shows in pretty out of the way places that lead to good things - sales and exhibits in established galleries. So yes, ya never know!
