New portfolio
Upon researching the fine art market, I found that my portfolio wasn't quite appropriate (relative to the work I do that I think of as "fine art"), so I made a 2nd portfolio at http://bpsphoto.typepad.com/photos/fine_art_portfolio/.

On a side note, I hate referring to my own stuff as fine art. I hate it when others refer to their own stuff as fine art. "Art," okay, since its purpose is to artistically move others, but "fine art" is something that history decides. Oh well, that's what the market demands. I also hate names for drink sizes (why can't we just order by the size it actually is - 8 oz., 20 oz. - because "small" is no more meaningful than "tall" or "large" more meaningful than "venti"). Again, oh well. Go to the aforementioned portfolio, tell me how great my work is, or tell me why my work isn't great (if that's what you think, though you'd clearly be wrong).

I really enjoyed your pictures. I noticed that there weren't any from Kazakhstan... was there a reason for that?

I haven't been able to afford scans of my negatives of a high-enough quality to satisfy my definition of a good photograph. That scanning is fairly far down the list of things I'd like to spend money on (I need two lenses for my digital camera, and as I learned today [see [info]bpsphoto] I apparently have to get Photoshop) - all told, about $2600 are already spent before I'm willing to consider other big expenses.

Wow that's a lot of expenses! I used to own a SLR camera many years ago and remember how much the lenses are (and that wasn't of the professional variety, either ;-)

yeah, it's a wonder more photographers don't knock off convenience stores, rob pawn shops, donate their plasma for money...psst...hey, dude, c'mere...I have a sweet Nikkor 50mm, f/1.8D Autofocus for you. Real Japanese stuff, too, none of that China junk that's been goin' around...

You'd think that the camera stuff would be cheaper in Japan, what with it being made there and everything. But, not so much.

I don't mind being added. If you wanted to add my photo blog - http://blog.bpsphoto.com - that would be cool too. ;-}

I've returned the favor. It's the only way I remember to visit people not on my LJ friends list. Are you someone I know in real life? 'Cause I just can't make your initials into a name right now (David Schwimmer is all I can come up with, and I'm pretty sure he's otherwise employed).

And thank you very much for the compliment.
