“Are there commercial possibilities at present for pictorial
photographers? Has the public shown an increasing desire to buy soft
focus pictures? Is there a demand on the part of magazines and newspapers
for pictorial work?”
“There is a very definite demand on the part of both magazines and
newspapers for soft focus pictures. In fact, sometimes the art editors,
in their eagerness to get soft focus work, will buy a photograph because
it is fuzzy, without regard to its quality. But the outlook for the
pictorial worker in its financial possibilities is steadily improving.”
