And it really grouses me to no end when a personal favorite
hangs in the gallery for years without budging, but what I
consider to be a "pedestrian" photo sells the day after getting
hung. I think my biggest seller (quantity) in the past two
years is a rather lame picture of a wagon in front of a barn
buried in weeds.

Sometimes it is impossible to account for customers preferences or tastes.
There are things one can learn about a specific market to help sales though.
I used to sell prints through a local gift shop and the best sellers here
were pictures of the Tetons. I had some images taken up high in the
mountains that I really liked but they sold poorly. Others, mostly taken
from the valley floor, sold much better but seemed very ordinary to me. I
found out that people prefer to buy pictures that reflect scenes they had
actually seen from the valley. They wanted to take home something to recall
their memories.
