Hey All,
Thanks again for the encouragement/advice before. My first show was this past weekend and it was both good and not-so-good. The latter being partly my own fault, but still. I sold nothing, but did have a good number of folks coming through my booth who had a lot of good things to say about my landscape photography.
I am taking the positiveness of the compliments and the interest (one guy brought his wife back to see a piece he may have bought, but didn't in the end) to heart to further realize that yes, my art is sellable.
I am taking the irritating side of not selling anything as a lesson to: a)Seek out cheaper festivals b)Try a different formula for selling my photos, and c)Seek out other means of selling for profit
I enjoyed being outside all day, it was nice to talk to so many strangers, have friends drop by, meet other artists, etc, but at the same time I don't know if it's for me entirely. We shall see. In your experience, is it typical that people enter your booth and don't even look at you or say hello? I just found it annoying that most of them came in and wouldn't even make eye contact, though they had things to say to each other about the photograph.
ANYWAY... :)
Overall I am taking the good, the bad and the ugly and running with it. We'll see where things go.
Cheers!
