I just loooove that part about the fridge magnets vs
the well processed "fine photograph" and which one
actually has any audience. I am NOT poking fun. It's
a reality lesson for all "artistes" !
And really, I love this WHOLE thread. Well, at least
ALMOST every bit of it. It was toadally obvious from
the thread title that this would be a raving blast ;-)

Both of you are right. How many times do we go to the refrigerator versus take the time to look at that beautiful portrait over the fireplace. Yes, one will be more interested with the food in the refrigerator. But that magnet will be lifted a put back with ever grocery list or kid's handmade picture. Every visitor in the kitchen will be looking at that piece of "advertising". It may not be award winning portrait photograghy. But it had better be good enough to get new and repeat customers.

I think this thread has wandered well and truly off piste but hey, that's what happens when enthusiasts start a conversation :)
re fridge magnets and PP art images never seen - our fridge is built in and magnets don't work on the unit doors, and only some one else can judge if my pictures are of fine art quality. But I fully agree the viewing is what it is all about.
AND one of the very best photographic equipment purchase we ever made was a NIX 15" classic photo viewer. It has PIR detection so is only on when someone comes is in the room. I have been adding photo events to it for the last 4 years and it is amazing how often something catches someone's attention and they spend the next few minutes watching the show. The screen is large enough and has good quality so it does justice to the photos. I typically filter down to no more than 20 images or less (max 30) for a given event which takes 1 to 1 1/2 minutes to view at 3 sec per image.
Before that I used album software to print A4/ Letter landscape albums. Again it had the advantage that photos were in the order I preferred and were not just a heap.
While I keep the same selected images on my phone, the photo viewer has transformed the viewing of our photos. Seems to me (and I havebeen / am guilty as well) that many photographers are more interested in the equipment and the process than the end result? I'm sure that it why cellphone and the internet - with take and instant publish - is so universally popular.
Have a look at photo frames. I chose a traditional 4:3 frame as I only shoot photos not video, and that size is great for landscape and portrait orientation images. Those who shoot video as well have a bit of a challenge as a 16:9 profile is great for video and photo panos, ok for landscape format, but can struggle a bit with portrait orientation. Still much better than on a PC and seldom viewed
re wdross and your wife - if your still upright and breathing freely, take up bungee jumping - its less dangerous :)
