Pageviews and Prints

Journal Entry: Sat Aug 29, 2009, 1:26 PM
First, I'd like to say hello to everyone who decides to read this - the three of you are fantastic people and I can't thank you enough.

So lately I've received a couple of requests to make some of my better photos available for purchase. Normally this would be great news, however, in order for it to be worth my while to sell prints I need to spend a little money first and buy a print account. Now here's my dilemma, a quick look at my pageview count confirms what you and I both know already, I'm not a very popular artist. I don't really consider this a bad thing, especially considering some of the laughably poor work by some of the super-popular artists around this site, but it does mean that I most likely won't sell very many prints. So is it even worth it to make these photos available? Help me decide and let me know what you think, and (be sincere!) tell me if you would actually BUY one of my photos as a print.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to feature a few photos I ran into over the course of the week that I think are truly outstanding. You won't find any artificial bokeh or macros of feathers and glitter with photoshop cross-processing, so I apologize if that's what you're into. :)





These photos were each made by different artists and none of them had more than 100 'favorites' at the time this was posted. Enjoy!

- Nathan

Your gallery is breathtaking! I think I love every single shot you've got..
:iconzidana:
Hello! You have really good gallery. All photos are so calm and so native, like a picture from the childhood. I really enjoyed it!
:iconsassurose:
Your gallery is great. Nearly all of your photos have a nice feeling in them, calm, as someone already said. And I agree, some people have lots of pageviews which it's not so sure if they deserve or not. Not that I would either, I am pretty much a newbie in all this art stuff, but oh well. :+devwatch:

Your smile keeps me alive~

I'd rather be hated for what I am than loved for what I am not.
