Addendum - You don't want to overprice the market, but don't sell
yourself short, either. If you think your image is only worth 10 bucks,
your buyer will think it's worth less.

Larry -
Try this formula to put some concrete figures to your pricing. (Your
costs -printing, framing, etc + the minimum cash you'd like) / .7. Yes,
that's divided by 7/10. Dividing by .7 adds the 30% that the gallery
will get. Now get rid of the cents and round up to the nearest $1, $5,
whatever. That will give you your minimum selling price. Running the
same formula using *double* the cash you'd like will give you your
preferred selling price. Using $50 to $70 as a minimum profit will get
you in the $300 range as a preferred selling price as Paul and Doug
suggested.

I'm trying to tie up the final details for the show.
I don't understand how the pricing of the art works as there is both
an "asked for" and a "minimum" price on the form. Is there some sort
of consensus on what people are asking for their prints?
If someone wants me to come shoot photos for them, I can come up with
a value for my time. If someone says they like one of my photos,
chances are that it's a friend and my response is likely to be along
the lines of, "sure, Costco charges me $3 for a 16x20, why don't you
buy me lunch when I give it to you".
Also, if there isn't any sort of limited edition, if more than one
person wants to buy a photo, would Mark be willing to print more
copies, and what would he charge to do so?
Christine posted a list of suggested hotels for the event. Was there
one that most people ended up getting reservations at?
I've been struggling with the CV and the artists statement, if anyone
wants to read and comment, I posted them on my LJ:

I'm afraid that it does not, as of yet, mention nekkid wimmin.
