Re: (which photos) I'm going to try to sell this Saturday
So I have to ask - which ones? You really can't judge the situation on ONE day - not really a show. Concentrate on a tight theme, matt a few and take those around . If you get a palce to display them, or a show at a real gallery, you'll be framing them too... but they are more likely to sell. Even though some are to friends, they wouldn't buy something without liking the shot they bought - In one day, I'd say you should consider it something of a success. ann On 6/18/2017 1:57 AM, Larry Colen wrote: Larry Colen wrote: The good news is that I don't have cause to spend a lot of time and money trying to sell photos at a show.

Re: (which photos) I'm going to try to sell this Saturday
That's a fine set of images, Larry. Good luck with the sale. As anyone who has witnessed my online displays can tell you, I'm completely at a loss when attempting to predict what people want to see, and even worse when trying it with a print sale. You have a nice, diverse range of shots that should appeal to people. I wish you a successful outing.

Re: (which photos) I'm going to try to sell this Saturday
That is a really fine collection, Larry, and the images are diverse enough to appeal to almost any taste. Selling prints is tough these days. I will be very interested to see how many you sell (compared to how many admirers the prints draw).

Re: (which photos) I'm going to try to sell this Saturday
I've never had a good handle on what folks want either. "it'll look good over the couch" is something that does not resonate with me. So when I had the opportunity to participate in a print sale, I picked photos that I liked and put them up for sale. My tastes are often considered a bit odd, but I managed quite a few print sales anyway... It's very hard to know what's going to sell at print sales. I look at photos on sale at various local shows and see nothing I would buy, but I see dozens of people carrying those prints home. It's perplexing.
