Subject: Sold some prints this evening . ..
We had a fund-raising dinner and auction this evening; the occasion was
our church's return visit to Costa Rica in late May - early June. A high
proportion of youth on the trip, so additional fundraising needed to help
cover all of the costs ( not because they are more expensive, but because
they are not gainfully employed, just in case anyone was wondering.) Sixty
or so people in attendance.
I had printed, matted, and framed four of my shots, they were in the
silent auction portion. Several bidders on each, the final average price
was way too low but still higher than my direct expenses of
printing-matting-framing. And then I sold a second copy of two of the
shots to people frustrated by having missed out in the first round. So, I
helped in the fundraising, got lots of good strokes on the prints, but am
not ready to give up my day job. We also donated a week at a time-share
resort (exchangeable at many resorts around the world) and a
dinner-for-six at our home, and those both went for big bucks. A good
evening all in all.
