I ended up a little higher, $350 ask / $325 min, for a couple of reasons: (a) This is the first work of mine that's been exhibited, so there's sentimental value in holding on to it. (There's a competing value of being able to say I've sold a print, but I don't really have any ambition to make a living in photography, so this factor is weaker.) (b) I don't think we'll make it to Chicago, so there's value in keeping the finished work so I can see it. Added to this is that I don't do any digital printing myself; the few digital photos I've printed have been automated Mpix-type prints. I'd like to see what a good printer like Mark can do. So, basically, yeah... I figured out what it would take to break even, then bumped it up because I'd rather have the print than break even. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
