Viewing Photos

[kat]

Oh yes...my house if full. It's actually quite neat to have someone new into my home..they walk around looking. That is when I get the most comments, demands etc.

I've maybe sold 5-10 photos..but I've donated tons. My nephew and neice play hockey..all their tourneys I donate a photo to raise money for them. For my hockey as well.

At this moment..my photography is what it is..for photography. I don't do it for money. I do it to express what I can. As many say..bring the beauty out of something so ordinary. I love that. And you are right.. a computer doesn't bring that out.

Great glad you show your photography as you do, your right, photography is just for the photography and why it brings so much joy and contentment. Such a solitary journey when you want it to be.

I get what you are saying AL...nothing beats a piece of artwork viewed in person. I have seen many incredible paintings that just don't look the same online...kind of like making a movie out of a book I guess...it's never the same - or as good as the original. When I take photos in to have them professionally printed, (I have a very good printer who does my stuff he's a few dollars more, but well worth the cost) I am amazed how much better they look on paper than the computer. My friend who I took the photos in of his Father's truck was dumbstruck and close to tears when he saw them on paper and framed.

Right now I am waiting until I sell my current house and move (w/in the next year and a half) and then I am going to make my new home a gallery of my photos. I too have thought of taking some of my stuff out to see if I can sell some of it but I haven't the foggiest clue of where to begin or how to go about the process???? For me over the last several months, photography has been a deep healing journey, a process to which I have found and rediscovered a part of myself that I had really truly lost for a while. I don't know what I would have done without it really.
Anyhow not to get too deep but all in all it is fun but to take a photo and print it on nice paper, put it in a beautiful frame and present it to someone is the best feeling.

Yes it can be. That to I agree with.
