I sold a print! I sold a print! Yes, indeed I sold a print!

Now I can cross that one out of my list of goals :) Sweet! I have suspicions on who bought my Sundial Bridge photo but fear I could be wrong so if you could ever be so kind and reveal yourself that would be awesome :)

Woohoo! I'm doing the happy dance with you Caleb!

I used to live in downtown San Francisco and loved shooting the architecture there, that's one of the big things I miss about California.

I saw your photo a while back and always liked it so I figured no time like the present ;)

And a present it is :) I called my friend and told him I sold a print. The conversation kinda went like this:

Dude I sold a print!
Oh yeah? How much?
$5 bucks!
That's it?
Yeah but I sold a print!
How much did you make?
Ummmm... $2.32
Whaaaat? And you're excited and calling me about that?
Yeah but I sold a print!
That can't even buy you a tall mocha.
Yeah but damn it! I sold a print!

Sigh! Some people just don't understand why we get so excited about these things. It's the little things that make me happy ;) Thanks Dan!

I can relate...sort of. I remember when I sold my first picture on Shutterstock. A whopping 20 cents :-) For some odd reason, my heart was pounding and I was telling myself the same thing, "You sold a print!" It's funny how excited we get over little things.

dont feel silly.. when i sold my first print i sat here and cried like a baby..
I couldnt believe that someone liked it enough to pay money for it. It is such a major thrill, dont ever lose that feeling of gratitude. :)

I would sure be glad if I could sell print of my photos in the future.
Thinking of all the millions of pictures taken all over the world and somebody actually like one of mine!!

Congratulations on selling a photo print Rikki!

Congrats Rikki! It's not really the $$$ that matters; just the fact that others like your work can be such a high! Besides the nickles and dimes you earn from sales can be deducted from prints you order for yourself. I think the $25 membership is money well spent! I was promoting this site to my dentist who is into photography, and he joined (but I don't think he's posted a thing yet). But I told him he needs to upload his prints and order them from DPCPrints because the quality is phenomenal (sp?).
