okay, so i go to this art festival today because i'm supposed to write a story about southern art festivals. all i can think is that there are many interesting people there with some incredible passion for what they do. so i talk to them, i get their business cards and try to make notes that will possibly, but probably not, make sense to me when i get home. information overload.
and i have a card for someone in my purse from meridian, ms. the guy owns a garden center with his wife. he's in his mid to late fifties and he's got these gorgeous photographs that he has put on canvas or high quality paper. Some framed, some not framed. their all pictures of flowers, but not typical pictures of flowers...they are close-ups, different perspectives, detailed and really great I think.
then i come home and see what you've done. he was charging about $350 on an average. anyway, you could charge for what you do. people would buy them...not me, of course, since i'm sort of like maybe a base fan or something. anyway, this is good.
What a dream come true it would be to have so many people value my photography to the point that I could do it for a living as an artist. But alas, I don't think that there is enough renown for me (on the world's part) or skill (on my part) for this to be a viable option.
Then again, maybe I'm just too chicken to try.
Just because he was charging $350, doesn't mean he was actually selling anything.
This picture was taken on the cusp of sunset, so the water droplets are more likely captured rain drops.
Just a seed planted. A thought maybe. You are good enough.
I did a witness a $3,000 painting being sold. The painter said that the work took him two hours. The most successful artists there, it seemed, were the ones that were selling what people wanted. Oxford, MS..a town that contains the University of Mississippi...football and campus photographs or paintings were well received.
This guy was there with just that type of thing. Thought you may want to check out his site.
This is an experimental project. My goal is to post a single picture each day during 2007. My hopes are that it will force me to improve my photography skills and technique and to more actively notice and, on occasion, interact with the world around me.
The rules are simple, I have to have taken the picture on the day it was posted for. Generally, I will try to post a picture on the same day that I take it. But there will probably be times when that is not possible.
If you have questions or comments, please feel free to leave me a comment.
For anyone who may be interested, prints are available. If interested, please contact me and let me know what sort of print you'd like (framed or not, what size you'd like, etc) and I will get back to you as soon as possible with a price and to iron out the details. I'm not yet looking to make a living off of my art so prices will mostly just be to cover my costs.
