Thanks for your thoughts Brian (and for news about George S). I am
trying to work out ways of supplementing my income with photography
(otherwise I might as well save money on film and just click shutter
releases ;-)) and some of your points were worth thinking about.
I live near Cambridge and in Jesus Square there is a small market on
Saturdays in which craftsmen sell their wares. 2 stalls have
photographers selling their prints, monochrome and colour, to
punters. The prints are really good, being of the sights of
Cambridge, and well mounted; but I have often wondered how many they
sell. I shall ask next time I am there.

Hi folks,
Having recently had some large prints made of some of my better shots, and
bearing in mind that the local small art gallery owner had said to me about a
year ago that they get asked quite often by tourists if they have prints of
Sumner (the sea-side suburb where I live), I took a selection of
prints into the
gallery and caught both husband and wife (she runs the gallery) there.
They were very polite, but I did not get an acceptance.
So I got to thinking why.
