Selling collages

October 18, 2012  •  2 Comments

 

Many years ago while planning our retirement to Oaxaca we pondered the idea of creating a little extra money to supliment our fixed income. Having owned the photography studio for years and having a photo bank with thousands of photos taken during our several trips down to Oaxaca each year, offering them for sell to tourists seemed the most practical way to bring in a little extra. 

 

We have a friend from Matatlan who has a store in Tule, Oaxaca. Tule is one of the major tourist destinations in Oaxaca. It's main attraction is a Cypress tree that some claim to be the oldest tree in the world. Here is a quick read about Tule. http://www.delange.org/Tule/Tule.htm. Anyway we are going to display some photos there and see what happens. 

 

Most of the digital cameras I've owned through the years have been incapable of producing a large quality print for resale. To compensate we've made a series of collages with the individual prints ranging from about 5x7 to 8x10. The overall size of the collages is 16x20. We're starting with a series of fifteen prints and will increase our inventory if we are successful in our sales. 

 

We put a spot or two of color in some of the collages and were happy with the results. 

 

We were invited to a comida tomorrow. All of the meat is non domestic. Should be interesting.

Hey, beautiful pictures, but I definitely like the ones with color hints, is like the best of two worlds. I am happy to hear you are leaping on your life conditions and happy to perceive your excitement for life. Please take care and keep us posted.

Hi folks, Great to see your progress. Love the pictures, especially the ones with a little color. I tried hand tinting way back when I had a darkroom and had a few successful pictures, not many. It is a very neat look.

I may have missed out on the origin of Don Pedrillo. If you would, please do a quick story on it or guide me to where it may be.

We finally received some rain tonight. I can hear the grass singing.
Best to you, Kevin
