About This might seem like a strange title, but here goes...
Kathy and I have been displaying some of our photographs in our cafe for sale. They've been up for a couple of weeks and we've been anxiously awaiting the first sale. Yesterday a lady bought 2 photos, this one of mine and one of Kathy's! Hers was a shot titled "First of the Season" and is a beautiful image in her portfolio.
So...hooray for us! We were so excited!

Laura Spell   {K:24080} 4/24/2006
Congratulations on the sale of your work. This is a beautiful shot of the sun rise/set over the water.


Andre Denis   {K:56069} 4/24/2006
Congrats on the sale of this great looking landscape Susie! You and Kathy should be proud. It is always a big deal when other people think enough of your images to actually pay for them.

It's not the money so much as the fact that they are choosing something that they will most likely put on display in their home! That is a real good thing.

I had something along similar lines happen to me. (except the pay part :)
Last week, my brother was showing my wife and I one of his daughters school projects. It was about the river at our cottage. They picked a couple of my landscapes from last fall to use in the project. I felt great about that! It was a nice surprise to see them in there with her little drawings and cursive writing.

................CONGRATULATIONS...................
....to both of you in gaining your first sales.
This is a beautifully composed shot with gorgeous colours and a stunning reflection my dear Susie. There are the hot whites, yellow golds, ambers and burnt orange from the sun but the surrounding areas and particularly in the reflection are the most wonder pastel tones. I love it and again a very big well done to you and Kathy. My very best wishes to you as always....Ray


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 4/24/2006
Beautiful photo and title given its meaning-well done! The colours and silhouettes in this are gorgeous. The sun on the water so warm and peaceful.


Kiarang Alaei   {K:48971} 4/24/2006
Very nice composition and moment for clicking and creating splendid shot!


Robin Wickenkamp   {K:16430} 4/24/2006
How awesome for both of you!!! It was only a matter of time before the public recognized what we already knew...the sisters are talented!
A beauty of a sunset Susie!
Take care...Robin


Giuseppe Guadagno   {K:33999} 4/24/2006
The lady has made the right thing buying this photo. Excellent Susie!
Ciao.

NN     {K:26787} 4/24/2006
Indeed, hoorey for both of you!!! What a great idea to combine a cafe with a photo exhibition. This one is very moody. Maybe I´d clone out some of the top of the tall straw in the middle, so that it doesn´t touch the border. You girls can be truly proud of your achievements!


Alberto Romano   {K:2940} 4/24/2006
Wonderful sunset!
Excellent details, composition...and idea!
My best regards
Alberto

missy mullins   {K:677} 4/24/2006
CONGRATULATIONS!!..is a beautiful photo :)


Martin .   {K:24361} 4/24/2006
Susie,

Excuse me, but I'm a bit confused... I thought you were a Pro already? Your work is Pro Quality. It's just hard to believe you haven't sold your work before... I have sold a couple of my shots @ work myself, but I really want to go Pro, so very badly.

Cooking is another passion of mine. Do you own your cafe? I have been told many times, that I should open my own restaurant. Too much work IMHO...

Congrats to the both of you and I'm so very happy for you as well,

Marty


Kelly Duntley   {K:13055} 4/25/2006
No wonder she bought this photo. It is so sharp and dramatic looking with the striking and silhoutte. The reflection is marvlous.

I'm so very happy for the both of you!!! A very nice feeling to hear your excitement. Hope you sell many more.
Kelly


brit warren   {K:1516} 4/25/2006
Congrats to you both. I can see why your work would sell. Its beautiful. Start stocking up on pics for sale, they'll be selling like hot cakes. Lighting in this photo is amazing.


Linda Bique   {K:74033} 4/25/2006
Congratulations Susie and Kathy, this is STUNNING and I can understand why they would want to buy it...great work!!


Susie OConnor   {K:34798} 4/25/2006
Thanks for the suggestion Elisa. You are so right. That always bothered me, but for some reason I never thought about cloning just a bit off. That's what I love about this UseFilm so much...the exchange of ideas! )
Susie


Susie OConnor   {K:34798} 4/25/2006
Well shucks Martin, now you have me blushing! Very nice words indeed...thank you!
My sister and I own/run the cafe. It sure is a lot of fun if you love food and love people, and don't mind long hours. Even more fun now with the photo gallery...
Take care Martin!
Susie


pan giannakis   {K:17093} 4/25/2006

CONGRATULATIONS,LADIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad to hear you two are showing your work in your cafe...perfect exposure (pun intended!)
Susie, i like this lovely scenic as viewed through the delicate tall grass silhouettes...
the hues are rich and the golden sheen on the water is very appealing.
hugs,gayle


Andrzej Pradzynski   {K:21606} 4/25/2006
Susie, seems like you lady are on the way to the serious business in photography, congrats on your first sale. Very nice picture indeed, great sunset scene and pleasant colors so no wonder. Cheers, n.j


Susie OConnor   {K:34798} 4/25/2006
Thanks so much Gayle. This "gallery" thing has put a whole new twist on our photography! It's so fun to share photos with folks, and the cafe works out really well for that. Plus it spruces up the walls! ) Take care, and thanks for your support!
Susie


Yoshiyuki Tanaka   {K:13580} 4/25/2006

Hey congratulations for the sale, that really is exciting! This is a very nice silhouette photo, very peaceful and has a claming effect. I think the buyer would be very proud displaying this in their home and will feel the same way you felt when taking this photograph. very nice image, congrats again!

Hi Anna,
We have mostly 5x7's and 8x10's in single mats and simple frames. We have prints available unframed with a single mat. It's been a lot of fun displaying them.
Thanks for your comment! )
