[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'll do the same thing I do with all of my work: Sell prints if anyone wants
them. I can't give my work away during my lifetime; I need to make a living.
This project has been expensive. I'm not sure how much I have spent just for
the hospital project, but my Polaroid work as a whole has cost me nearly
$4000 so far. Most of that has come from donations I've received, but some
has come from print sales. Even if all the film had been paid for by
patrons, I'd still need to sell prints so I can pay my other bills and
expenses in life. I live with my son, who has told me that I'll never have
to work for a living again; but I try to pay for my photography materials
and equipment and costs like my adobe subscription myself. I don't want to
be a burden. I have a lot of serious health problems, which is why I live
with him.
When I die, I will likely give my work to some place like the Indiana State
Museum. Hopefully that won't be any time soon, but given the poor state of
my health, there's no guarantees.

Very nice coverage by the news media. And a great collection of
photos. Do you have any plans for them after? Submitting them to a
historical museum?
And nice to put a face to the name.
