I am blown away by the images that you all post on the Cafe. I am curious to know what you do with these images...frame them and hang on a wall, sell them, give as gifts, post on an internet gallery? What do you do with these killer images after you shoot them, tweak them on the PC, share them on the internet.........?
I'll start this thread by saying that when I began shooting heavily a couple of years ago, the subject matter was youth sports action which I have sold to the athletes/parents. I have enlarged some images to 8x10 for portfolio use...but my sports images have not gone on any of my walls. Since becoming a member of the Cafe, my photographical interests have become very diverse and I have begun shooting so many different things besides sports. I have images on the walls in our finished basement which serves as a recreation room. Images of the Chicago Air and Water Show and images of fires and car crashes (I'm a firefigher/paramedic). I am planning on finding just the right subject matter to shoot, then matte and frame for display in our home as art. The images that you all post are very beautiful and have inspired me to get out and shoot for the express purpose of decorating our home.
What's your story???
