A coffee shop maybe you don't expect gallery pricing. But hopefully it's better than your average internet pricing we're seeing. The influx... People selling their images on the internet for twenty bucks which really is at a loss would be selling them for at least 200 if they took a photo course and got clued into the gallery goings ons. It just makes it a bit harder for for when people go into a proper photo gallery and they go "screw it I'll just get some nice pictures on the internet". But I love coffee shop shows and have had a bunch myself. Keeps you sharp. And people get to spend some more time with the images then if they go blitzing a white walled gallery which typically doesn't have a place to even sit down for a minute. Or a water fountain. Or brie and champagne. Unless you get one of there postcards and come the right night. And stand the right place. You can usually find me right by the shrimp. Wearing a red carnation.
