Ok, no use in denying it. This page has gone onto the back burner. I recently joined Meetup.com and connected with some other photographers in Sacramento. We are all from many different stages in photography, from amateur to very seasoned professional. I love it because I can access so much photo knowledge. I also post my stuff to Flickr.com so this kind of slipped. I imagine that I will probably go back and forth between updating this page with new pictures to letting it slide because I've gotten so busy with other stuff. I wonder if other people do the same thing? They must because I see other blogs with the last update over a year ago!
My husband has a blog and he updates it regularly (every day!) with very witty stuff. He's super intelligent, so it's continually surprising that we're not rich. I'm very smart too, but I guess I'm also very lazy. Not a good combination if you want to get rich!
I have got to learn this photo thing more. I really wouldn't mind making some money with it, but I have to start getting money shots. I'm hypercritial of my own work, but I am also well aware of other work that sells, and my stuff doesn't quite make the grade. I have noticed that a nice mat can make all the difference in the world to how someone perceives your work. Put a print in front of them and they say, "Ah, that's nice." You put a print that has been mounted or dare I say, mounted and framed, and they look at it differently. I don't know why, it's just what I've noticed.
