Hmm, I am beginning to ask question of what I want my exhibition to be like. I want to exhibit all my photographs, all of them, not a single one spared, not even the wack ones, so I need to really think of the execution, because that will justify why some of the photographs are crap.

Question though, will anybody buy, or more so should I sell them?

if you can find a building with JUST passeges like the one photographed...I think that will be kewl.
Just passage after passage. With photographs. Like a maze.
At the centre - the artist.

I donno.
How about exhibition exhibitted at the places/the people you've taken pictures of???
Maybe have actual people holding up the pictures (stuck on a stick or something), as opposed to having them displaced on some platform or whatever.

Have them in a dark room. As if they've just been processed. Pegged on a wire. Lights shining on them. Dark room.

I would buy - I have a particular one in mind actually.

Heita.

I think i'd be kul if yu wer to make it a street experience. We ol love roaming d streets, whether ekasi o edolobheni (that's Zulu fo town GG), anyways display 'em like yu wer walkin along d streets of kuphi-khuphi kae-kae.

A street pole typa vibe. So d setting wud hav 2 be dun in dat typa style yu know. Nini nini, yu'd hav it randomly nje eSpace-ini on d wall like it was just put de by sum guy hu isn't gettin' paid enuf.

But i'd dig d street posta typa-style. Mayb coz ngiyasincanywa istrada & ol d people i c in it. Doesn't flow too fa off the banks as the people holding d posters as well.

cho!
About d laptop...ya neh. Inhlanhla.

Well if you have that many on digital. Maybe you need to hook us up with a movie type of set up.
At an IMax theatre or something...even better go old school, like one of those community halls we all used to watch movies at - where they put up black plastic bags on the windows to block out the sun. Where we first saw Bruce Lee...

That kind of set up - and have a slide show.
You'd have to pick some music to go with it.
But that's a boring idea though...
Ah well. I'm tired now, going to sleep.

So you reckon you'd seel your pics for R1/less a pop????
Doesn't sound right. Not right at all!
Hey if you do the movie set up - you could charge peops entrance fee, and not even sell your pics...well not to the masses atleast, just me.

I want all your Alex pictures.

Lebz, I'm tempted to say R1 a pic. I don't want to exploit you. You need to give me a figure.
How many pictures you got? Of Alex that is.
I'm already decorating my spot around them. When, when, when? How much?
