One
of my goals for 2013 is to begin the job of sorting my husband's many
photographs into catagories; absolute favourites, favourites, must hang
and saleable photos. Bill is an amatuer photographer and takes photos
for a hobby. He absolutely loves it but what is apparent to me and
everyone around us is that he is quite talented and could even do this
professionally. He has an eye for quirkiness, beautiful scenery and
images.
I like to plan ahead and one of my favourite views
in my mind is of the two of us sitting behind a stall at Drysdale
Market in our 'new life' with Bill's photos on display, on canvas boards and in little
boxes with different sizes of the most popular photos of natural scenery of
which Bill has been collecting along the way. I just 'know' they will
sell well and will be most proud to help out at the stall of my husband
'the local photographer' - who knows, if his photos become popular and
sell well, we could even create a website and have his beautiful works online
making it another income stream in retirement.
Just so
you know what I am speaking about, I have added a few samples of his
wonderful work here. Perhaps you can comment on which photos you think
will sell well. Its always good to get feedback before begining a
project such as this.
There is also a bit of background
investigating to be done to get this project off and running. I need to
source wooden boxes of which we will stack the photos into, also gage
where I can buy discounted plastic covering and cardboard to frame the
photos in various sizes and formats.
So, while I am
begining to find out all of this information for future use, enjoy the
pictures I have posted. They are his own originals and photographed with
no formal training except for his 'eye'
I think they are wonderful, but of course I am biased...
Just testing this comments box as I havent been able to 'see' any of your comments. Please keep your eye on here as I learn my way through this electronnic maze as I would love for people to keep commenting along with my journey...if anyone else who 'blogs' can provide me with tips on why the comments are not showing, that would be wonderful!
