Recently I began thinking of different things I could do with my photos. I'm really--make the picture and move on person, but.... maybe there should be something beyond the taking and posting to a website. Client work is great because it forces the issue of making prints etc... for their walls. But what about the stuff I do that is just purely for the love and need of making images? Someone mentioned note cards and I began thinking of small collections of these cards--like 6 different pictures in a pack of 12 notecards with envelopes. That sorta thing. I thought this sounded like a good idea right up to the moment I observed a whole bleacher full of people all looking into their laps and thumb typing messages on their phones. It made me wonder if anyone even uses note cards anymore. So I'm not sure. I might try a limited edition to see or just make short run limited edition prints and see how that goes. But I am beginning to think that maybe if I'm going to do anything with this work, I might need to hire a business/marketing manager!!!!!! I like the making end--but trying to sell and market---well that takes away from the making. I made this photo in the wee hours of this morning in my kitchen using nothing but a flashlight the iphone app hipstamatic---the lens and film choice of Lucifer 1v lens and blanko film really added warmth to the red flashlight light and the dark warm toned paneling in the kitchen and transformed the white and orangey daffodil into a very unified color scheme. The tough part was getting the flashlight just right to not blow out the highlights and then staying still enough at 1:30 in the morning with the phone and a slow shutterspeed. I've never photographed flowers more than I have this year. Photograph by Richard Sayer
