Those are nice shots, BTW. And you're right, I haven't done any events where I tried to sell prints on site. I doubt I ever will either only because it isn't especially appealing to me. I do product shots and the occassional events, parties and corporate stuff. I like selling my time, then selling print packages later. I may be missing out on some selling opportunities but for now I'm content. I'm sure that will change as my financial needs change, however.
