The Other eBay
In this week’s Sunday Morning Photographer column Mike Johnston looks at collecting photographs as a way of getting into the hobby of photography:
“Contrary to some peoples’ assumptions, there are plenty of places to acquire photographs. One of the most obvious is eBay.
I’m assuming that everybody is aware of the “Cameras & Photo” area of eBay, in the “Computers & Electronics” section, where equipment is sold; but are you also aware of the “other” eBay, the “Photographic Images"area, in the “Art” section? Typical for eBay, you can find anything there from treasure to garbage ? from original vintage prints of acknowledged masterpieces to pictures clipped from old magazines, and everything in between.”
