Thanks, Rob. They were both 12x18 photos-

the first, "High Wire Act" was printed w/pigment ink and framed by me (framedestination framing kit) in a 20x26 gray wooden frame. Archival quality. Wanted it priced at $265, but the listing was mis-printed and sold for $165. Gallery retained 30%

the second but earliest, titled "Angela" was printed and framed by MPix last year, before I did my own, it was framed in 16x22 metal frame w/glass, sold in frame at $165. Gallery retained either 30 or 40%, can't recall. I think the buyer was a woman at the reception I was noticing who had to squat to see the photo (bad displaying in this place, with stuff crammed into every inch of wall space) and looked at it for, it seemed, minutes. She then returned later and did the same. That was rewarding in and of itself!

That's it!

Thanks to all for your kind words and for sharing your experiences. While I'm glad not to be dependent on photography for a livelihood, I admire those that can do so and enjoy it. I certainly like the freedom I have with photography as a hobby, bit I kind of wish I had the reason to buy and get income from all the great gear that pro's can. Clearly, there's no way I could quit my day job! The profit I got could buy me a few boxes of paper. Maybe.

Way to go. That's gotta be a wonderful feeling. I have just heard from the wife that one of the fellows in my Meet-up group had sold a pic. to that mag with the bunnies. He didn't' say how much but he wrote the money was good. Nice to hear about all you up & comers. In the mean-time I 've got a lot of practice to do.:D
