What a clever idea!

It’s often difficult to think up new photographic projects. This young lady has come up with one…a very lucrative one…..as many of the 20,000 prints are available for sale at £475 each. ( some a lot more !!)

Even if she sells 5000 at that price she will be well off.

I do think some of the images have merit but there again if we (any one of us) were to take 20000 photos I would expect at least 100-200 exceptional images. The 'light' in the USA is very good for scenic images, much more so than in UK with its grey and flat light.

I wonder if I should do a similar presentation of my photos from my recent trip to Peru.
Now there is a thought!

We would like to see some as well!! :thumbs:

I am sure if we all went through the years of photographs we would uncover photos that would sell….in the right place.

On a lesser note, I am compiling another photobook of our garden bird visitors over the years.

A total of around 80 species have visited at one time or another. Sadly the widespread decline in UK birds made worse by more housing being squeezed into the last adjacent house with a large garden means we are likely to lose the last special visitors.

So it’s a memory of better days.
