Thanks!

I don’t really expect to make much money selling them, but with the way most online photo sites are set up these days, it doesn’t really cost me much to try. When I have some time, I’ll probably set up some galleries at SmugMug or similar to do that.

Yeah, these are great shots! Wonderful timing. I’m guessing you’d have a tough time selling them though. The amateur market is getting extremely crowded. More and more people seem to think, “I can do that… if I wanted to.” I think putting some of the blurred ones on canvas is a great idea and probably your best chance at making a sale, but I haven’t been in the scene for quite a while. It’s great that you have such good go-tos in the family.

Hey! I’m the only photo dork allowed in the family! What the duck, man? (Heh, nice shots… I also like the shot you have on Flickr of the surfer that I hadn’t seen yet. Nice!)

Thanks! I love the slough! I really can just sit out there all day…

Thanks! At some point, I’m going to start trying to sell a few. I think my initial attempt will be trying to sell some of the motion blurred birds as canvas prints. I need to get one for myself first, and see how they look, though. Want to take some more to have some to choose from before I do it.

I’m not a professional, but my father is a very serious amateur, and my brother is a pro. He shoots for a newspaper in NJ.

1. I have complete camera envy! Lovely photos
2. I grew up in Santa Barbara (Goleta, really) and you make that slouth look almost pretty!

Jesus, man, those are fabulous. I mean, PRO quality. Gads. You should put them up on iStockPhoto or one of the other such sites and try to get a few bucks for them.

Or … have you always been a professional photographer and I’m just too dense to have noticed?

You should see what EVD thinks of those. I think they’re amazing, but him being a serious photog, he can give awesome technical feedback.

Very nice.
