Been Uploading Photos


I have used a number of websites to post my photos. I started with Tribe, then went to flickr and facebook. Most recently I've been uploading photos to a site called Deviant Art. The name is an odd choice because there's really nothing deviant about it. I think it was going for that edgy feel to attract a young and hip audience. The reason I've been uploading my photos to this latest is that the world has an opportunity to buy and download the photos. So instead of people being able to just look at them, they can perhaps purchase them. I've had a few things up since Sept/Oct, but haven't sold a single thing. I don't know if I ever will but it's better to have the possibility than not at all.
I'm going to post the website on business cards so that if someone sees a piece around town on a wall they will also be able to go on-line and find more of my stuff.
There's a lot of overlap with the work I've posted to other places, but there will likely be some stuff that's not seen elsewhere.

Update


It seems that life has gone into hibernation in this sleepy town - my life anyhow. That's part of the reason I haven't posted much lately.

I continue to be unemployed. My first, second, and third options all feel through. The economy has tanked and effected me directly. Fortunately, I have enough in savings to make ends meet. A positive cash flow would be nice though. I'm still hoping to be able to get back on the Pacific Crest Trail next season and hike the entire length of it.

I was hoping for greater snowfall this winter so as to shovel roofs for a source of income. I actually enjoy high places which is a perk if I'm going to be on a roof anyhow.

I've been spending my time working on my photography. I'm not organized and don't know how to become organized and streamlined in the process so it takes more effort than it should. I've hung a number of photos in a second restaurant in town which just changed hands. A couple of them have already sold, which I hope is a good sign. I still need to work on better marketing.
