Hi guys! just wanted to tell you some cool news! a friend of mine here in RR who uploads mostly in the 3D galleries has a website where he & his brother are selling inspirational artwork. anyway, they asked me if i would be interested in selling some of my images to them so they could use them to make inspirational calendars...my photos with verses from the Bible. Anyway, they're doing two calandars with my images...one will be flowers/plants and the other animals. i'm not gonna charge him to use my images since he's a friend. sure did make me feel good to be asked though!!! gave me my confidence a boost, and considering i have almost NO confidence when it comes to my photography...well that was nice! i think i might get myself a little signature and add it to my pictures. you guys have any other advice? also, how strange...got an email from someone today asking me if she could use my pics for personal use...as background for stationary or something. says she will be sure to give me credit and include a link to my gallery if i like. she says she doesn't intend to use my images in any kind of marketing venture. you think this is some kind of scam? have ya'all gotten a similar email? from some girl named Becky? i can't imagine people wanting to use my pictures for anything. i really don't have ANY confidence about my photography. can't imagine why in the world anyone would want to use mine. that's why i figure the rest of you guys must have gotten the same email. i'm just blown away that someone thinks my pictures would actually sell. calander is a great idea! you guys should think about it! :)
