At my day job, a bunch of us did a fundraiser for Hawaii Foodbank on Friday. I brought 14 photos in various sizes (8″x8″, 8″x12″, 9″x25″ and a pair of 57″x10″ panoramas).
A coworker did an awesome job of matting 10 of them. We couldn’t matt the big panos, they were bigger than the matt boards.
We sold 10 of them. Including BOTH of the big panoramas.

This was fascinating: Great images and installations, plus short write ups on how each was made:
Great visual images and other art pieces and how they were created
Another year further from the high school freshman who had discovered writing the summer before and bravely started sending out his poetry and stories. Didn’t sell any stories, but won a couple of cash-paying poetry contests, so he managed a $400 profit that first year.
Yay me.
