Photos find me.
I love them for it, for the opportunity to share them with others, because that particular moment in time wil never occur again in just that way.

Starting a virtual storefront is an interesting endeavor.
Artist friends have been encouraging me to open an Etsy shop for a while, but I never felt I had anything really to offer, because Etsy, I thought, was for craftsmen. I don’t consider myself a craftsman, I consider myself a visionary — that is, my art is tied into vision. I don’t have a quality printer to print at home, so I don’t have all of the control I believe I need to have an Etsy shop.
I opened the Fiverr.com shop with the idea that a daily uplifting thought on an original photograph was a good way to spread some positive feelings. I charge a nominal fee ($5 for seven days) to make it affordable for pretty much everyone. My pictures are neither sappy nor kitchy, and the words are spelled correctly, which make them excellent blog or newsletter content.
Two of my photographs have been shown at juried shows at the Saint Louis Artists’ Guild, and I look forward to entering more juried shows as a means of continuing to share my vision with the world.
Please feel free to click on the Fiverr link above or the photograph to view the shop– I’d love to get your feedback on this!
