The morning began with a Facebook message from a friend I had recently done some work for. She was wanting a 16x20 at the Walmart price of 16.00. The day ensued with me trying to explain via FB that I would do it, but I could not afford to give work away. I attempted to direct her to the Fine Art America site and as I left it, I trust she will. It is a most difficult venture I have undertaken, the pricing of work, of trying to be reasonable. At times I just want to stop all this and get out, but I am too far hooked.
The folding fabric hanger for prints came today and I took it up to the Gallery, replacing the two wash tubs I had been using. It makes for a better display. From there I drove down to Alligator Lake boat ramp behind the DOT to get some shots of the lotus and other scenes.
The evening was grand. I went into town to get supper at Chick fi la, stopping to get mamma and take her. We watched Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, then I drove her home. I went to the DeSoto Lake downtown and took shots of the fabulous sunset. Usually after a rain shower, you can plan on a nice sunset and it did not disappoint. Again, I ran low on battery power. It will be good to get the Canon S110 and have the extra battery as backup. I trust that it will not limit the ISO in the darkness.
There comes a point when you can only take so many, to me, usable photographs. Film days helped limit the number of exposures. I carried the film Nikon N50 around yesterday and I was quite discreet and discerning, passing over many shots I would have taken with the digital.
