[Leica] PRINT SALES AND SMILE'S :-)

[tedgrant at shaw.ca (Ted Grant)]

Oh there's good news tonight boys and girls!!!!!! Hot damn it doesn't get 
much better unless you win the lottery. :-)

It's pretty  rare for me to sell prints of my work as I never considered 
myself an "art photographer." :-) However a local art gallery was putting 
together a show and had 3 fine "art photographers" signed on and would I 
like to hang something? First re-action was... "Who the heck would by my 
pictures as they're photojournalism not art?"

So I had 13 prints hung last week, this afternoon the Gallery lady called 
and told me 5 pints had been sold at...... $750. 00  each!:-) So if you guys 
want to call me "ted the artiest!" ;-) I think I can handle it for $750.00 
per print.

Not only that but she said when she changes this show for the Christmas show 
she would like to keep what she has and if I'd like to hang new photos she 
would be only too pleased.:-) Oh geeesh the thought of a nice Christmas 
present! ;-)

Hell maybe there's economic life for an old photojournalist after all. :-)

It's just sharing good news folks. :-)
