B&H photography super-store podcast... interview with Salem Krieger founder of Art Is Helping
Salem Krieger is an architectural, editorial and portrait photographer who had a seemingly simple realization in 2015: he could sell prints of his work and give a portion of the revenue to a non-profit organization of his choice. From this grew Art is Helping, his system for putting artists and art buyers together and letting the buyers determine how much they spend and which organization they support. In a short time, the roster of artists has grown, as has the varied list of non-profits that benefit from the transactions. Some of the non-profits include: Advocacy Partner of Environmental Defense Plan, Art In A Box - Helping At Risk Children, Center for FOOD SAFETY, Citymeals On Wheels, Coalition for the Homeless, Democracy Now, Greenpeace, PETA, Planned Parenthood, Rational Animal, WBGO.ORG Jazz Radio.

DIGITAL C PRINTS (traditional photographic prints)
The term C print stands for Chromogenic color prints. These are full color photographic prints made using traditional chemicals and processes. For Digital C prints, the material is exposed using lasers or LED lights. Originally, passing color corrected light through a negative onto photographic paper or transparency film produced traditional c-prints. Kodak introduced chromogenic papers in the 1950’s under the name Type – C. The name stuck and ever since it has been a mainstay of the photographic lexicon.
