SHOWTIME
Photokina used to be the place were all the last news in photography was presented. The internet has changed all this.
Today new cameras are presented all the year around and special photokina news are already known several weeks before the show.
GIRLS GIRLS and CARS
Without "real news" how do do you attract the public.
|
| At NIKON you could see a dance show. |
|
| The lookalike Marilyn at OLYMPUS |
|
| More Girls at the FUJI Booth |
|
| KODAK had a fashion show with "Kodak inspired" clothes |
|
| At LEAF the girls stayed on the sideline while the main attraction was a magician who attracted a large public every day.
How many of them was interested in the product they have is another story.
|
|
| The ADOBE Booth with Sports Car |
|
| The Photoshop seminar at ADOBE also attracted a large public. |
|
| Enlargers ?
Yes they still exists. A couple of weeeks ago I gave away for free my $8000 Durst after trying to sell it for 5 years but at Photokina Kaiser, KIENTZLE among others still exhibit even if the public seems to be very small.

| Photokina 2004 the IQTVRA Exhibition
IVRPA was also at the last photokina in 2004. As you can see we have changed name since then from International Quicktime VR Association to International VR Photographers Association.
Even if Quicktime VR is the "father" of immersive 360 degree interactive photography, Quicktime is no longer the only way to show it with.
