Is Inflation Happening in the Art World?

 Inflation is not happening within the world of art, YET

Here is my photographic prints website so you can see why I've written this article for you, Affordable Wall Art  by Rich Collins, and here's but a single example

It is happening elsewhere, and it appears it will continue to increase throughout the world. If for example, you have spent even five minutes looking at the cost of rent and housing, you've found that inflation has skyrocketed to a level that has caused home prices, though not rent to be in a state of limbo. So much so that counties are recording a dramatic slowdown in population increases, as people are in effect, financially burdened with staying in their existing homes for the time being. 

Automobiles and truck dealerships, are also reluctant to raise prices, which has already slowed consumer interest, as the tariffs have dissipated the profits to a lower tier, meaning rising prices would slow sales even further.

Restaurant menu prices, brand name groceries, tires, fuel, even household goods, from paper plates to major appliances have all risen to such a degree that we are finding ourselves, questioning is this product we are habitually buying, really a necessity? Or has it become a luxury?

But in the world of wall art, you will find, is still available at a very fair and value-driven price, for both short term and longer term, but not for a long term. Decorating your walls is still an affordable choice to make. I want you to do yourself a favor, and perhaps thinking ahead to next year, think twice about spending as much as you did this year on fireworks, or concert/theater tickets, dining out, replacement furniture, more than affordable exercise equipment, club memberships, sports channels, you name it, and think about how much the art in your home truly means to you and how affordable it still is. The caveat is this will only last as long as the tariffs don't expose us to imported printing costs. Large scale printers are mostly all produced out of the US, so the rise will happen. But there is still some time left, which by any standard is the unpredictable leverage. 

Leap, don't saunter to the art world My Photographic Prints

Have you ever Spoken to Someone who doesn't............

.......... I don't think I've ever spoken to anyone who doesn't enjoy taking pictures

It's only natural. See something you like and 1-10 shots later you can share with friends and family, in person and online. We all do this and almost daily for some of us. And the thrill is almost as quickly gone. But there's something most of us don't do as a follow up to all these pictures that we share which makes the effort a timeless keepsake. We don't print them, frame them, and gift them to our family and friends.

An example of a pic you might have taken while on a trip to a park or trail. Now think of it hanging on your Sister or Mother's wall in a frame and this 2-3 second glance on your phone will still be there for months, years, perhaps even generations. It's simple or complicated depending on how easy it is for you to get these printed and framed. And the frame doesn't have to be expensive. It can be if it's a really special capture. 

So if you're not interested in going through the process of doing this, perhaps you could just find a pic online which you feel would make the same impression.  Here's a link to my website you can view, choose and order very easily, and you'll end up with a similar gift that will last a very long time for a very affordable investment.

My Collections while fewer in number than those who shoot to amass vast sums, is more about shooting images, then massaging for an end result of impact, as one would want the scene or image to have been, as nature had intended, or at times even more than nature is capable of. However some are even at the epitome of calmness, vivid, energetic, wholesome, or pop. Take a look

iPhone 16E are Facetime Calls Possible?

 Can the iPhone 16E make FaceTime calls?

Rarely do I do a brief intro to a product, but I've been reading that the new iPhone 16E is incapable of making FaceTime calls. The general consensus has been that there is only one lens on the rear of the phone. I finally asked ChapGPT and it confirmed the answer I was hoping for.

"When making a FaceTime call on the iPhone 16E, the front-facing (selfie) camera is typically used, allowing you to see the screen and interact with the call. However, you can switch to the rear camera during the call if desired. This functionality is consistent across iPhone models."

So I then went to Apple the website and found this,

A Powerful Camera System to Capture Any Moment

The powerful 2-in-1 camera system on iPhone 16e is perfect for capturing everyday moments and important memories, including in Night mode and Portrait mode. Using computational photography, the 48MP Fusion camera takes super-high-resolution photos, so users can capture gorgeous images that balance light and detail. With an integrated 2x Telephoto, users have the equivalent of two cameras in one, and can zoom in with optical quality to get closer to the subject and easily frame their shot. And the front-facing TrueDepth camera with autofocus enables sharper close-ups and beautiful group selfies. The latest generation of HDR captures subjects and the background with true-to-life renderings of skin tones, while ensuring photos have bright highlights, rich mid-tones, and deep shadows."

So for any of you who have been looking for an answer to this, it appears the iPhone 16E is fully capable. I hope this short AI answer will help you in making the decision to purchase, or at the very least consider it
