Earl Leaf:
Your travel pictures will fall almost altogether into two categories, stock pictures and picture stories, and there is more detailed information on how to sell such pictures in later chapters.
Before we drop the subject of travel pictures, it might be well to clarify something which might seem contradictory, the incident mentioned concerning Earl Leaf and his big earnings from one week of shooting in Paris, as set against the later advice to take your time and to learn all about the area to which you travel. You see, Earl Leaf, while waiting for just the right weather for his shooting, spent three months in Paris studying the city.An inspiring example, though hardly typical, of what can be accomplished by a roving cameraman is supplied by Earl Leaf, the versatile magazine photographer. During just one week in Paris when the weather was just right for pictures, Leaf covered the landmarks of the city with two Rolleiflexes, one loaded with black-and-white film and the other with color, and to date he has netted roughly five thousand dollars for that week's shooting, and the pictures are still selling.
Metal leaf. The use of silver and gold leaf surfaces in Decoration has become popular in recent years. These effects are also part of the painter's work. Aluminum leaf is generally used in place of silver, as it is less expensive and does not tarnish. The application of metal leaf is accomplished by first applying a gold size to the surface to be treated. This is allowed to dry to a thick consistency, and the leaf is then applied to the size and allowed to dry thoroughly. It is best to varnish metal leaf for protection. Metal leaf is usually glazed over the varnish for antique effects.
