I know most people don't do abstract(ish) stuff, but I was wondering if anyone here has had a similar experience. I'm trying to help a neighborhood non-profit gallery raise money by donating a framed print for them to sell. The person in charge, when I asked what sort of thing they might want me to donate, said that I should submit what I felt represented me.
OK, so I sent a jpg of one of my images of a partially destroyed sign. It was pretty clear what was in the image. I said in the e-mail that if they didn't think they could sell this I could submit something more "mainstream."
The response I got was, to paraphrase, "what's this a picture of?" I sent a less abstract image, with which they are content, and I'm not upset about it, having figured that's how it would go and having left them an out in my message. However, I just don't understand the response - what difference does it make what I had photographed (which as I said was pretty clear anyhow) - if it wouldn't sell, then we would go to "plan B" but what was the point of this question? Sorry about the long ramble.
