She meant hanging photos. I don't just do 11x16's or something, I do all
sizes of hanged photos. It meant framed. I have been to that art show
before and knew what she meant.
That is a cool idea, I didn't want to have to mat a lot of photos, which
is the way a lot of people display them (photos in mats with no frames -
in a bin or something where people can flip through them). I don't want
to put a lot of expense into this.
I did have a web page but I have let it lapse and I am still considering
reviving it or doing something else. A lot of my problem with it was I
was "rolling my own" web page and thumbnail gallery and I found it more
and more time intensive.
This would be a one time thing, unless there is enough interest to
encourage me to show/sell more of my photos than I have to date.
Thanks for the input.

I wouldn't worry about other products for the time being. We, me and a
friend go out with our cameras together and we have set up at different
shows/events, have gotten blank 5x7 greeting cards, clear bags to put
them in, spray adhesive, and printed off 4x6 prints. We have a spinner
rack that we have them hanging on but you can just do the clear bags and
have them in a nice box for easy browsing. We sell a lot of them along
with prints. It really is hard to say what some one will buy but for the
most part what ever the photo is of it will speak to the person. Also
letting the person discuss their connection to the photo and adding your
insight into why and what to fores of your purpose of the photo.
As you probably already know have business cards handy and any other
promotional materials. Don't hand them out to everyone that comes by
your booth just to the ones that show true interest in finding out more
about you.
I am curious what do you mean you have to bring full sized photos? Also
do you have a website with your photography?

Okay, this is something I've been thinking about doing for years.
I've only showed photographs once before, at ANOTHER art show, not
this one. Both have ceramics, jewelry and other things as well.
To my total surprise I actually sold a photo the previous time. One of
my "artified" photos (made it all B&W, except for two things I colored
in).
This art show has been going on for years, and decided to jump in this
year.
So I am not really expecting to sell any photos. I have to bring full
sized photos, but I was thinking cards, because they do seem to sell.
Questions
1. Any other products that sell well other than cards? (From your
experience.) Not sure I want to spend the money on making up small
notebooks, calendar notebooks, or calendars, but like to hear your
experience.
2. Anyone have any particular online card making place to recommend?
Now I have to come up with a quick portfolio, regular and artified
photographs to show to the organizer.
