Sold my first prints! - DPChallenge Forums

I've sold my first photographs!

Legit, too, not to a family member ;)

Okay, so it's to a friend, but an online friend I've never met!

But I'm really super happy!

I had done a craft fair in Jersey last year and none of my group sold any prints. We were bummed, but not broken!

So this friend emailed me saying he needed some color (er...black and white is color!) for his new office.

He bought these two photos at 20X30! I've never gotten anything printed that big...and they look kickass! (Ofoto really does rock!)

...after printing I made 80 bucks! Dayyum! So was not expecting that...

Anyway, here they are:

So, I'm just gloating, but hopefully my giddiness is contagious! I'm nothing if not generous :p

Cheers,
Katy

Congrats on the first sale. Maybe one day I will be good enough to sell my prints.

good stuff! I'm still working on my first sale too.. but it's more about making myself happy with a ribbon entry.

WhatEVER! I don't think there is a standard for that, Rex. I'm pretty secure in my fair to middling photographic skill. I doubt I'll ever be above average, but if every few years a friend decides to buy a print off me...shit, that'd be nice :p

My problem is not taking good photos. I am just too nice and would give my friends pictures.
