I had an interaction yesterday at my job at the frame shop with a gallery in San Francisco. They represent photographers – some fabulous current artists and a whole slew of others as the gallery has been open since the 70s. It got me thinking as many of the artists had catalogues of their work you could purchase. Think high end glossy magazines. A soft cover coffee table book if you will. Made me think that might be something I could do. For me. Maybe some of my long time clients would purchase one. I wouldn’t expect to make money on it but the chance to put *my* favorite shots in a compellation of my work. maybe celebrating 2010-2025 – 15 years in business. It would have a completely different look than my online portfolios that show happy families and kids and all the hot messes we are freeze framed for a second to look like we’re put together. (also that sentence is horrible and I’m leaving it so you know this isn’t ai). Maybe I do it and send it to my new gallery director friend for feedback.

Who knows. Also when the fuck am I going to have time to do this?! It also goes with my thought that I love portrait photography. That’s my jam and I have my style but what if I got into daguerreotype photography or some other vintage technique. The ability to offer something truly unique to my clients. Not just a family portrait but a true heirloom. Artist and history major combine. I’m crazy.
