    My first Internet Sell

    A couple of months ago my web hosting company, Zenfolio, started offering sales straight off of my site. I made my first sale earlier this week. To a total stranger no less. Here is what he bought. One 16x20 of each. I hope you don't mind me bragging a little but everyone here had a hand in making it work. The great photog's here at PR keep me working hard and trying to raise the bar, Thanks to you all !!!!!!!!!

    Good for you Greg. I'm glad to hear it. Someone really must have liked them to order that size. They are spectacular photos. It never hurts to toot your own horn occasionally. Not only that, but many of us relish news of others success.

    Alison $58.00 each print only. The service offers several frames and matts. I can set the price to anything if I wish but went by what was suggested. Zenfolio got a $9.00 cut.
    GB1, this is not a nuke plant and I have been watched and followed but not approached, Yet. This is a very small community and the cops keep a speed trap running too.

    Re: My first Internet Sell

    That's always exciting. Especially the first sale. It really says that you are good at what you do. When someone plants their hard earned money for something to put up on their wall, it really doesn't matter what someone else thinks of the photo and you have a couple of winners there.
    JUST TAKE THE DAMN PICTURE!

    That is a bazaire picture of the (nuke?) power plant.

    If it was a nuke, I've heard that they get a little funny if they see you photographing places like this now.. anti-terrorist thing.
