1T payP That is, are enough good pictures
produced to pay for this vast outlay? The
question can be answered both ways. If
the securing of photographs OF almost
inaccessible spots is considered, 1t does.
If the work simply be considered as "pic-
lures" it does not, most decidedly. Some
of the negatives secured by travellers of
places never before visited by white men
are, of course, worth hundreds OF dollars
for the scientific facts they contain, but
may be valueless as pictures from an
artistic standpoint.
In looking over the 1000 pictures men,
toned at the beginning of this article
there were not so real good pictures in the
lot and not over 200 that had the cfaim to
the title. The rest were all failures, for
one, or all, of dozen different reasons.
Exposure was bad, developing bad and
plates were bad, but the greatest cause of
failurs was the lnjudicious selection of
subjecte. The negatives looked as if the
people who took them had simply
snapped at whatever was in front of
their cameras.
Among the lot of pictures mentioned
there was batch of 300 taken by young
lady while on a tour through Mexico.
Photographically considered the work was
almost perfect. She had used a 6kxSk
camera of the most perfect pattern that
$3.50 could buy and she got clean, sharp
negatives, but she d id not have a picture
in the whole batch of 800. The plates, de-
veloping and making one print from each
negative cost her over 500.
Why did she fail to get pictures2 Sim
ply because she didn't have the art in her.
1t takes as much art to select subject for
photograph as it does for painting;
that is, if you want to make pictures. If
you simply want to make a negative of the
front of your house it does not take any
art at all, and there won't be any art in the
result. But the plainest housefront is ca
pable of being made picture if one will

Few people have any idea of the vast
amount of money that is being spent by
amateur photographers in San Fran
cisco. Unlike the bieycie-rider, the ex-
penses of the camera devotee have only
commenced after he has paid for his
outfit. These can be obtained at prices
VARYING from $5 to $500, but the expense OF
a picture with a cheap camera is the same
as with an expensive camera of the same
size.
The amount of money invested in
cameras by amateurs in San Francisco is
almost impossible to approximate, as hun
dreds have been purchased by sending di-
rect to the manufacturers. Still it can
safely be placed at 100000. But as has
been stated, this is the smallest part of
the business.
Many amateurs simply make the expos
ures and have the developing and print
ing done by men who make business of
such work.
visit to one of the largest of these
places in the City last week revealed the
fact that 1000 negatives had been devel-
oped by them in six days. The cost of the
sensitive plates, or films, ranged in price
from cents each to 80 cents each, or say
an average of 10 cents apiece. This would
make 5000 for the 2GOO negatives. The cost
OF developing is about the same as the
cost of a plate. which would make $500
more. Then comes the printing, which is

or total of 5000. AS there are three
places in town that do as large business
as the one in question. and any mum Der of
smaller ones, $25o0 week is not too high
for work done this way.
The next class of amateurs to be consid-
cred are those who do all the work them
selves, and their name is legion. The only
