Hey folks, just wanted to share some good news. Last weekend I had my first exhibit at the Iron County fair here in southern Utah. I did better than expected, selling a few small prints as well as 2-20x24's and 1 framed 20x24.

This evening, just got done with a meeting with another interested customer who just bought $2500 worth of images ranging from 14x32, up to 24x30. Whoohoo!!! It feels good to know that all the hard work the past year is starting to pay off. Thanks again to all the people around here who've helped me over the last year or so. It has been and will continue to be greatly appreciated.

Congrats, Adam! :toast: That's great!
Every time I visit an art fair and wander through the photographers displays I think about doing the same thing. Someday. I'm sure I know little about it but I'm can imagine it's a huge expense and a lot of work to get started. But I bet it's fun!
Congrats again!

Holy crap Adam... your first sales????!!!!! As Les said, judging by your portfolio I'd have guessed that you'd be buying your first Ferrari by now. Or something like that.... you get my point. Congrats! I can see why your customer wanted so many.
