The first time I put my photography up for sale was two years ago in a Silent Auction fund-raiser for Aspiration Awards for young women pursuing degrees in technology, math and science. Now we are getting ready for a third auction and again my contribution are ten 8″ X 10″ matted prints.
Most of my images for 2010 were taken at McCormick Place in Chicago. Since the 2011 auction was held at a holiday networking event, I choose mostly floral images. This year my choice images are from London and Hawaii.
Originally, I used Kodakgallery.com. This year I used MPix.com. The paper was not as heavy, but the same metallic glossy finish. The prints are very good quality. To keep my costs down, I procured mats from GoldenStateArt.com. Excellent source. They even include a sealable plastic wrap/envelope for each mat.
Everything sold in the last two auctions. ENCORE!
Nice photos. I’ve started taking architectural photos when we travel. I made three collages for the den. One is flowers, one is man-made structures, and the third is natural structures. Very relaxing to look at.
