fragile

Let people know your work is valuable – even when you’re not there to tell them about it. Add a label. FRAGILE. Make it look official. Buy it preprinted. Or print it yourself. Or stamp it. Make it big. It’s a mandate not a disclaimer to be hidden in small text. Make it red. Red attracts attention. Put it on both sides of a package. Make sure no one can miss it.
If you want to go the extra distance, add a second label. HANDLE WITH CARE. It’s implied when you use ‘fragile’ but it never hurts to restate your case. People will pay attention. The whole point is to remind them to be considerate. It also sends a message to the people receiving your work. This is valuable.

Joyce Tenneson is coordinating a fascinating new book The View and she’s looking for compelling images and stories.
“I am editing a book tentatively called “The View”.   I have already received submissions from photographers around the world and would like to invite you to participate as well.  There is no research that explains why certain views affect people so deeply – this project will attempt to shed light on this intriguing visual-psychological phenomenon.
I would be most grateful if you would send me a high-resolution photo or two (no smaller than 8×10”) of a “view” that has affected you deeply.  I would also like you to send along 1-3 sentences describing, in your own words and in a simple fashion, what you felt or still feel when thinking about that particular scene.  Thanks in advance for your time and perceptions!
I’d like to make it clear that I am not looking for a simply beautiful landscape – a picture postcard – quite the opposite.  I am seeking to uncover what it is about certain places or photographs that, for some unknown reason, speak to our heart in an unforgettable and poignant manner.”
