    Father/Son Enterprise

    Ok this was a first for me. I never tried to market any of my photos other than those that were commisioned like weddings and sports photos. However my hometown has what we call the Covered Bridge Festival each year. My son David, who is 26 and an architect, has taken some of my images of our local covered bridges and other local landmarks and done pen and ink sketches that he has had make into prints and note cards. He has been successful marketing them at some local shops. He convinced me that we should team up to have a booth at the festival this year. So he had his prints and I had several of my photographs mostly of the bridges printed and packaged for sale. We were real novices at this type endeavor but had a fun day together and even managed to break even and have more product to sell through other outlets. Joy wanted a picture, so just before we tore down for the day she snapped a couple. It's a little in disarray at this point and much of the mechandise is gone, but you'll get the idea. It was just great for me to spend a day with my son and have a joint interest in an activity.
