>>2975345Awesome, that's a pretty reasonable price. I should have a pretty decent print deal going through in a month that should give me some income to stock up on film. Shoot me an email sometime so we can be in touch.
I haven't done the Bowen Gulch trail, but I did find a route from the back side of that mountain range that takes you to the southwest side of Bowen Peak and a little gem of a lake called Ruby Lake. Absolutely no was was there, it was wonderful. Pic Related.
>>2975356It looks like small prints have made me about 20% of my income this year, last year was probably closer to 40%. I really went big with the prints in my booth and that's what is selling best now. I consider the small prints to be my insurance policy, they almost always cover expenses and makes some sales in case it's a lousy show. But I don't really start making good money until the big stuff starts to move. Big stuff is definitely higher risk but you need to have a huge, high end piece in the $3k range if you want to sell to that group. You only sell $3k if you have a $3k print on display. I'm looking at moving a little more high end on the big piece next year, I'm going to go ballsy and try for $4k to $5k for my top price point.
Go shoot that 8x10! Or at least do b&w and make some epic contact prints with it.
