RE: untitled

I title my work for the simple reason expressed in Dan's last paragraph
below...it makes it easier for buyers to identify the print(s) in which they
are interested...for a gallery owner and for me when they are ordering from
my website.

Though I've never appreciated shows that have long paragraphs of text
about the image (I just don't have the patience to read that much when
there's photography to enjoy), I do feel that a title can nudge the
viewer in the right narrative direction.

Unless you're working free-form where you want the viewer to have
complete control over their emotional journey in response to your work,
it seems logical (and perhaps polite) to want to guide them a wee bit.

And not to imply that this has anything to do with art (except making
money from doing it) it makes it much easier for galleries and
collectors to deal with an image that has a title.

Just my $0.02
