gallery

Trash Art are recycled pictures I have taken in Rotterdam buildings, street art, flowers, trees,brickwork and anything else at street level grinding and pounding them into what I call Trash Art. Something surprising happened yesterday I loaded some of my pictures on to a tablet got into my car and made up my mind I was going to do something with my work..... with no real plan more like determination well had a store in mind here in Rotterdam were I got some pictures out of the store window for my images walked in got a hold of the owner had a nice conversation but he was him self is a photographer so he said he liked my work but only sold his own. But had made up my mind and started to walked after a short while noticed some young people lugging Art work into what turned out to be a Gallery. Well walked in had a look round when a guy introduced himself to me as Roderick had a chat about the gallery turned out they are going to open this Saturday. Well he asked if there was any thing I liked told him what I did pulled out my tablet and showed him my work after some comments more people gathered and out of no were Roderick asked me as he liked my work if I would like to hang my work in there gallery a short haggle over there commission and a invite to the opening this Saturday some more chit chat I went home some what bewildered. Panic then struck all kinds of stuff went threw my mind image size, resolution, print quality, how will it look bigger looks good on screen but, saturation, copy shops/printers use different standards than jpg. or png. Well for those interessed a lot of that is covered in the dicussion board Les has provided still have to work out whats the best standard to work in because when you convert from jpg or png to ........the saturation can go all out of whack. But for me well the the learning curve has started lets call it baby steps started looking at some of my work well sloppy in some areas so started cleaning light, dark, contrast, saturation etc. Huuuuummmm am going invest x Amount with out seeing it first put some pictures on a USB had them printed toke a good look mumble grumble still not right cleaning some more.......thinking if your going to sell you need a good print quality .......well thats were I am about now times short hope to be hanging my first images in the next few weeks..........OMG panic.......picture frames got to runnnnn.......
