Earlier this week I have had conversation with fellow photographer who
sells his work also here on eBay. His way and also his photographs are
little different than mine.
I like nice work of art, something which give me something to think about,
something which makes feeling, imagination in my soul. I like that very
much. It just feels so nice. Doesn't have to be a photograph. I just
watched special movie. And I have those feelings right a way.
As one wise man said before "Art suppose to lift the human spirit".
That exactly happen to me when I encounter such a item. Isn't that great?
When I can I like to buy it, to have that more often. I have great books
where I look on paintings, photos and I have books and some movies as well.
Paintings and photos are much better as I can look at them and they give me
always something more. It is like my mind is creating new things based also
on how I feel when I look at the piece.
But there is a limit, I never buy anything expensive, for me over 200US$
is expensive. I will not buy even the greatest photo for such a price. His
prices starting from 250US and he is selling. I am running my work for much
less and I am selling rather slow.
This let me think. What people consider when they like some piece of art
so much that they would like to buy it? Imagine that you see something so
beautiful in your eyes, that it gives you that kind of feelings I described
earlier. You like to have it. It is quality piece made with utmost care.
You know it.
So how does your decision is changed when you see the price?
-
a.) You look at his and you think, wow 250, it must be something of great
value. I'll buy it.
-
b.) You look at his and you think, wow 250, I love to have it but it is
juts too much, sorry.
-
c.) You look at mine, wow 40, cool I like it and I can afford it. I'll buy
it.
-
d.) You look at mine, wow 40, well it is probably some kind of cheap
stuff. I like it but I better buy something of more value, sorry.
So tell me what is your choice a,b,c or d ?
Thanks!
