More and more in a last few weeks I am involved in marketing my own
photographs than making new ones. It is kind of strange for me, as I am not
really any good in this kind of work. Much more I enjoy making new images
and therefore I am planning to focus mainly on new work for the next few
days.
As a result of my post to Usenet newsgroups and putting some adds on few
web sites traffic increase on my site last week enormously. It is still
keeping higher than before and that is a good sign. Unfortunately this
didn't find any reflection in sales. One of the
print
on eBay has one bid, hopefully also somebody else will bid on it. There
where also some discussion in those groups and some boards, but mostly they
tent to be heavy one side views with more attack approach than serious
comments or discussions. What a typical way for the Usenet.
Main reason for all this marketing is not really get any rich, but to
increase exposure and also to get possibly some little money back to
support buying on new film and chemicals to be able to go forward. As I
wrote some weeks ago I have few ideas about new style of images I like to
do, but currently I have two major blocks in that way. One is a time. I
have currently only evenings. And a second is money. First problem will be
possible solved by friend. I will borrow some lights from him and try to
make some arrange photos in the house with help of those lights. Second,
money problem it is more difficult to solve. you can help me with
purchasing one of my prints.
