| One of the downsides of the digital revolution is duplication. Because it is so easy to provide digital copies of images, the same pictures often appear on many sites, which can be a bit of a time waster for researchers. But, as one researcher recently commented about Photographers Direct: "I get a lot of very interesting and different images from your photographers and I really like having those options. I also feel like most of what I am seeing on your site is not on other sites - undiscovered talent you might say, which is a real plus!" So, if you are looking for something different, try searching our 1.3 million images online, or send a Picture Search request! Photographers Direct. Run by photographers, for photographers. |

| What happens when people and photographic art meet? In his colorful and lively photo essay on AIPAD's The Photography Show, the huge annual NYC gathering of photography dealers and collectors, photojournalist Judah S. Harris observes, in concentrated form, the nexus of people and photographic art. He was interested in knowing: how do people interact with photography? How do they look at photographic prints; how close do they stand to the art; how do they handle actual prints; what questions do they pose to the dealers or discuss with others also viewing the show; what do they "like" or care about? Take a good look at this series of images and you'll get some of the answers - and probably have a few questions of your own. Judah S. Harris Judah S.
