"ah! if only one was getting paid a penny per hit. life would be grand, aspheric Leica lenses in all directions. but no, we are minimum wage art mongers, we do what we do for a season, then we die, cached for another season by google, then gone w/o a trace, never, in life, gaining entrance to MoMA, ICP or even Howard Greenbergs" - Bill Emory

"Perhaps we could take printouts of our stat pages to a non-tech-savvy venture capitalist and get funding? I'll leave out the stats on how many of my note card sales have been to my mother's friends...." - Jeff Kelley

Selling Photographs on the Web

Hello Mr. Beckerman,
First, I would like to say I love your work. It's phenomenal! My name is Stacie A. an I am a Junior in high school who is aspering to be a photographer and I just wondering with out getting to personal, what kind of income do you make off of your web site? And how did you get started? Any other information or advise that you could give me I would truly appreciate it, especially advice comming from a talent such as your self. I can use what ever information I can get.

Respectfully,
Stacie A.

Hi Stacie,

Take a look at this:

It pretty much goes into what it's like to sell on the web. (In one word: horrible).

Best,

Dave

[I believe that Dave is getting worse and worse as far as his answers to bright-eyed would-be photographers go. At this rate, give him a few more years, and he'll become truly acerbic with beginners.

I have attempted to help Dave remember what it was like for him when he first began selling photographs - how romantic and how exciting the whole thing was - but he's told me to bugger off. In fact - if you must know - I'm beginning to fear for my own personal safety. I think the best thing is to just let Dave march around the place mumbling to himself. I was hired to be his editor, not his keeper. Ed.]
