Bucket List: Sell A Photo

Photography is something that I love to do, more so scenic photography. Taking a drive, grabbing a shot (of whatever it may be), being able to look back later on to reminisce at whatever that day held and being able to share it with others. Taking it a step further, I have always thought how nice it would be to be able to take this passion of mine and make it profitable. Maybe it’s just the satisfaction of being able to say that someone liked my piece of art, or piece of the world, enough to purchase it. Then one day, out of the blue it happened.

Completely unexpected, I recently had the opportunity to sell one of my photos to a large company to use in their advertising and company promotion. I still hold the rights to the photo but the fact that they wanted to use this particular picture and have it seen globally is a real “feel good” moment. I always thought maybe I could sell a photo for $5 or something like that but this opportunity has made me incredibly proud to be able to check this off my bucket list and hopeful to continue my passion and relive this goal in the future!

Keep an eye out for this one!

Laramie, Wyoming – October 2007

Texas Wheat Fields

Take a turn off the main road and enter into a world where you literally feel like you’re the only person there. It was just corn on one side, wheat on the other and me inbetween. The smell of rain was in the air. A storm was rolling in and you could just see the top of the wheat waving in the wind.
Oh, the beginning of the summer in Texas.

Today I’m linking up with The Paper Mama for{Wordless Wednesday}.

Texas Treasures On Country Roads

Back when I took a drive and passed through Maypearl, I chose to take as many back roads as I could. It allowed me to see my favorite part of Texas, the country! The day was overcast, with occasional raindrops appearing (it later poured once I made it home) but I was able to get some great pictures on what ended up being a stormy afternoon.

I took what looked like what is now a road for the tractors into the fields to get the shots of this old house. Now, hidden within a corn field, this old house, to me, was beautiful and a hidden gem. Imagine the life that passed through here. I wonder if a tornado caught it one spring.

The following pictures were taken along a different road. Donkey’s are so cute!

Beautiful Texas Y’all!
