Its so cool when you sell a photo.
I sold two photos printed on Canvas to a Gallery in S. California
They sold them both in two days !! I am stoked !! The gallery is really interested in more photos . Now i am really pumped , and ready to get out and take some more.

It is one thing when friends and family tell you "Nice photo!" It is, after all, their job even if they do mean it. But to convince a complete stranger to part with their money is always a nice confirmation of what your friends and family have been telling you.

Congratulations and good luck with future sales. :toast:

Thanks again everyone !!!

Pete

They were done 16x24 on canvas with a stretch wrap .
My cost is only 72.00 dollars to have them printed .
Not sure how everyone determines how much to charge . I sold them for 150.00 each to the the Gallery and they sold them for 350.00 each. Which is fine , we all doubled our money . :biggrin:

here is where i had them done.

Congrats, and might I add that I'm not suprised seeing the quality of those pictures. Simply stunning shots and prints.

How are you framing these wrap prints if I may ask???
Posted by RobK on March 3, 2008 at 3:09 PM

They come stretched on a wood frame .
I also have some loose picture frames that i take on and off periodically , to give our living room a different look . The photo goes aroung the edges , so they don't need a frame .
