Things A Picture Gallery: Further, the farmer might point out other details of his operation which are unusual, things you would never notice with your superficial knowledge of his problems, and you could take other pictures which would add up to a certain sale of a picture story.
This matter of knowing what you want to shoot in any lolittle-known peculiarities of the place, perhaps lead to your shooting strange and unusual things you never expected to find, which the tourist never sees, and which are highly salable picture material in the best-paying markets.
For himself, however, the collector may buy a picture of every item in his collection, in addition to a picture of himself surrounded by the objects. But it would be a mistake to make only simple record shots of, say, a man's antique coffee grinders and sell him small prints. It's much more profitable to do them up salon style, so that he can display the photographs proudly.
There are great possibilities, too, of doing albums on certain types of collections. A man who collects big things like ing down stories on things only started or merely planned.
Domestic Architecture.—Roman palaces were immense. The Golden House of Nero and its park covered more ground than the Vatican and its gardens. The throne room of Domitian's palace on the Palatine hill had a barrel vault of 100-foot span. Hadrian's villa (124-125 A.D.) at Tivoli included among other things a picture gallery, the Poecile (porch), in imitation of the one in Athens; a Canopus inspired by that in Alexandria; and a sunken garden with a canal. |
