Heading to Justin

8 Replies
Last week, I was headed to Justin and I did what I do when I head anywhere, take a road that may not always be taken and see what I can find along the way. Never steers me wrong. For some reason this year, I am totally intrigued by round bales just sitting in large open fields. Rarely, do I enjoy pictures of myself but I would love to just get out there and have some pictures taken of me (or take pictures of others). What a beautiful back drop! The sunflowers make it even better!

To top it off, I found this old barn. We all know how much I love old barns (barns, windmills, old homes, the list goes on and on). I couldn’t help myself.

Bucket List: Sell A Photo

14 Replies

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!

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.
