A collector stopped by and bought one print (something that I've never put up on the site) and a one of a kind print since it was the only darkroom version...
Then I went back to the marketing stuff and put up my tri-level special offer.
Then I took a nap.
Today is day 47 of my nicotine free existence. Not too bad now. I spend more time in the gym, and I guess that's a good thing, though there are some tricky things in the gym - these spiral stairs that I have to walk up after getting off the bike. I've almost tripped twice now. That line from Cabaret keeps coming to mind: He was the healthiest corpse I'd ever seen.
I have a morbid side which pops up when things are going well. I always thought it was a Jewish thing but after watching a couple of episodes of Raymond, I think it is just first or second generation syndrome. That we don't really believe we belong here.
Now if you tell me that you are a descendent of the pilgrims, and you have the same syndrome, then I'll chalk it up to being human.

Prices to Go Up
I am going to raise prices on the smaller prints from $25 to $28 (more or less) during the next few days - or maybe today if I get around to it. I had orders for something like 30 of these small prints over the last week and I think that means that the price can go up a bit, plus it is still taking me time to assemble the things, though packaging is now pretty simple.
On the other hand, if you wait a while - I should be able to order the Museo Silver Rag paper in a week or two. I'm sort of counting the days. I want to only work with that paper stock. Should be out around March 1st.
Orders for the larger prints dropped off so I went back to the Victorias Secret site to see what they were doing sale-wise when there are no holidays, and they've got a "special offer." Fixed amounts of money off if you buy so much stuff. I have to believe that these offers work or they wouldn't be doing it. You know they've got a braintrust of MBAs who specialize in marketing underwear. Do you think they could ever do the same thing for men? I know, you don't but look what Starbucks did for coffee? Who would have believed that?
And I am still working on the connection between selling art and underwear but haven't put my finger on it yet (pun intended).
It's not underwear, it's romance.
It's not a photograph, it's art.
It's not art, it's an investment.
It's not an investment, it's a piece of history.
Whatever...
