A friend of mine is decorating her apartment and wanted some of my photographs on the walls. So I made her a special ordering page with some very low prices. I figured I may as well offer the same to you as well.
September Photo Sale
I'll leave this sale page up through the end of September. [...]

After reading Where are all the goddam photos, something in my head clicked. Not that photographers need a new way of doing things — I'd figured that out already — but that I wasn't the only one in this same situation trying to do this same damn thing.
Every day I see Photographers making it big. [...]

A big part of what makes a website designed to sell a product successful is whether that website stirs up a feeling of trust for the merchant and respect for the product. While ExposureManager is indeed completely customizable , making these custom changes requires heavy knowledge of HTML, CSS, and access to ExposureManager template [...]

In the past week I've done so much. But it feels like I haven't done anything at all. Here's what I managed to get done:
My father-in-law has been in town since last Tuesday. He leaves tomorrow. It's been great having him around. However, with that comes a sense of obligation regarding how my time is [...]

It's that time again. You know the one where I debate photography as a career or at least as a means of paying for itself until I make it big. You know…

Make Photographs

Live happily ever after.

In this installment I'm trying to gauge what a reasonable price might be for my work. Not the price I'd [...]

I had hoped that by making a posting here about the unknown enthusiast that the culprit would show his face. And so he did. It turns out he is frequent reader of this site who decided to buy "portrait of a cow under a rising sun":http://djamesphoto.com/arranginglight/2006/08/30/portrait-of-a-cow-under-a-rising-sun/ as a birthday present for his father.

I did it.

I just placed an order for all of the pre-sold copies of the book. The Pre-Sale is officially over. [...]

I will be placing an order for printing and shipment of my three Exhibit images on Monday. I get a heavy discount when I purchase in quantity, so, for those who are interested, I'm offering a Signed, Titled, and Numbered Special Edition 11×14" print of any one of the final three selections for $20. These images are large enough to hang above a fire place or on a medium sized wall. They will also look great in an office cubicle to show your co-workers that your style is just a cut above the rest. Art from living artists like myself also makes a great gift for people who are hard to buy for. [...]

Thank you all very much for your help in making my final image selections for my upcoming exhibit and the KERA ArtMug submission. In case you were wondering, of the "12 images I asked you to choose from":http://djamesphoto.com/photos/200609_exhibit_sel, here is how they ranked in order of popularity amongst all those who informed me of their [...]

Aside from any inferred reasons, I never did explain *why* I decided to go out of business.

I've told you that "I quit":http://revjim.net/2006/08/25/out-of-business/ and mentioned some of the good things that will come from doing so. I've listed in detail all of "the dreams that are going away with it":http://revjim.net/2006/08/28/whats-really-lost/. I even gave a small display of my "recovered joy":http://revjim.net/2006/08/29/the-good-side-of-a-bad-thing/ that comes from no longer spending so much time and energy on the potentially money making aspects of Photography, and just doing what I love.

So now the hard part. [...]
