Against all rational judgement, I’ve been talked into trying to sell my photos at an art show back in Illinois in a little while. While I have little doubt that this will wind up being another one of those soul-crushing examples of Rejection and FAIL ranking right up there with asking out the Hot Chick and having her laugh uproariously, I’m still going to give it a go. What the hell.
Along with a passel of panoramas (which will be somewhat expensive, and thus I don’t expect to sell much of *any*), I’m also bringing along a boxload of 8.5X11 prints, printed off (reeeeaaaalllllly slowly) on my Kodak photo printer. Once I started organizing what I have that I think might be sellable, I realized I was just shy of 100. I have a collection of something like 80,000 photos, so picking out the good ones is a bit of a chore. I suppose 1 good one out of every 800 is probably about the right ratio.
I’d like to bring it up to a full 100. If anyone has seen a photo of mine on the blog that seems to you to be potentially “good,” and it’s not in the compilation below, let me know. Obviously the panoramas are largely out, as they just plain suck when reduced to fit on an 8.5X11. However, there’s the example set by photos 37, 38 and 39… one panorama split into a tryptych. I could do that again, I suppose.
When I tried my hand at selling these things before, during my disastrous stay at the “Quilted Bear” art shop, I tried (and failed) to sell these prints for $6. This time… $3. I guess.
Anyone want to buy a complete set and help me pay for gas?
