[QUOTE="Carolina Photo Guy, post: 16657, member: 1556"] I'm not sure how to classify what I do. I shoot whatever interests me, be it flora, fauna or architecture. I have 2 storefronts on Zazzle ([url=http://www.zazzle.com/photoguy]Lighthouses of North Carolina and New England: Home: Zazzle.com Store[/url] & [url=http://www.zazzle.com/ipadguy]iPad Covers ONLY: Home: Zazzle.com Store[/url]) where I have my images on a myriad of products. I LOVE craft fairs and am planning to start back in them. Trust me, a heart attack takes a LOT out of you! I started in, for lack of a better term, merchant photography back in January of 2003 when there was a large snowfall on the Outer Banks. I collected a lot of shots and had the best of the best put on coffee mugs. I bought the mugs for a buck fifty each and sold them for ten dollars each. I sold out five cases of thirty six mugs each in six weeks. That pushed me into the nightlights. I bought the large plastic light from Wally World for a buck each on closeout, replaced their ugly picture with my beautiful shots and sold out 200 in 3 craft shows. Those went for my usual ten dollars each. I sell prints, cups, postcards, ipad covers, ect on Zazzle without having to do a thing. I don't make much, but its found money. Below is a shot of my first products that I saved for posterity. I have no business model other than make it cheap and sell for a small profit. I have also found that people seem to like what I shoot. So, am I Donald Trump successful? Hell no! Am I pauper poor? Again, Hell no! I am enjoying myself. I get to travel and I get to meet some fantastic people and a few ass*oles. All in all, a pretty good life. Pete [ATTACH]2019._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
