I’m diving in – friends and family have convinced me to do something more with my photographs… so I’m giving it a go with greeting cards…. the first few came back and I could see mistakes and ways to make them better, so I just sent in for the second batch and am now on pins and needles to see how they turn out! I added a little heart logo and on most I decided to write a little something personal, a back story or just thoughts that I had when I was taking the photo, so that it’s not just a photo with nothing behind it.
If I break even, I’ll be thrilled. And if there is any profit, I am unwavering about donating all of it to charity. Taking pictures is a pleasure for me and I never want it to be a business, or else I would lose my love for it. Plus, I will never be a professional photographer. I’ve looked at photography “how-to” books, and I do everything wrong. I can’t follow rules, I just go by instinct. If my photos inspire anyone to get outside or simply to appreciate nature and our world a little bit more, I will be happy.
