I really like taking pictures, and I don&#8217;t completely suck at it, but it isn&#8217;t my job and it can consume a lot of time and money.  The massive ego part of me would really like to see my photographs published, hanging in galleries, etc., etc., etc.  That, however, takes work, and really isn&#8217;t what I&#8217;m supposed to be doing with my days (either here or when we return home next summer).<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m trying a really low impact option, namely selling prints via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imagekind.com\/MemberProfile.aspx?MID=62de266a-027c-4c4c-8c13-2376b6e06fc8\">ImageKind<\/a>.  They connect in nice ways to Flickr, which makes it easier for me to move images into their universe, and then they provide nice printing and framing services, sending me a small piece of the action on any of my photos that they sell.  I&#8217;ve started with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imagekind.com\/GalleryProfile.aspx?gid=ee8a3212-88d4-4556-a67f-e7b7d3fae661\">a small gallery of six images<\/a>, and will add more in bits and pieces over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>I can attest to the quality of their printing and framing.  I used them to print and frame one of the images I have hanging in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stevenshistorymuseum.com\/catalog\/index.php?cPath=21\">Horizontal Grandeur<\/a> show at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stevenshistorymuseum.com\/\">Stevens County History Museum<\/a>.  The print was very good (probably not <em>quite<\/em> as nice as what we get from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autumncolor.com\/\">AutumnColor<\/a>, but AutumnColor charges quite the pretty penny for their work), and the framing was very nicely done.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t ever expect to make any real money at this, but if I&#8217;m lucky there might be enough in it to buy a new tripod :-).<\/p>\n\n\t<div class=\"st-post-tags \">\n\tTags: <a href=\"https:\/\/UnhinderedByTalent.com\/Phi\/archives\/tag\/photography\/\" title=\"Photography\">Photography<\/a><br \/><\/div>\n\n\n\t<h4>Related posts<\/h4>\n\t<ul class=\"st-related-posts\">\n\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/UnhinderedByTalent.com\/Phi\/archives\/2007\/11\/18\/wonderful-little-film-about-paul-rand\/\" title=\"Wonderful little film about Paul Rand (18 Nov 07)\">Wonderful little film about Paul Rand<\/a> (0)<\/li>\n\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/UnhinderedByTalent.com\/Phi\/archives\/2007\/11\/20\/with-joy-shall-ye-draw-water\/\" title=\"With joy shall ye draw water (20 Nov 07)\">With joy shall ye draw water<\/a> (0)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my goals for our sabbatical year is to figure some things out about my photography.
