Selling your photo entries at the County Fair

Just want to add my two cents. I've shown photos at art shows and fair over the years and I have found that most people come to the shows with some bucks in their wall, usually for food and some extra for trinkets. There are few large picture buyers but if you don't show it you can't sell it. In my experience I've used large matted pictures for display (by large I mean 16x20 and larger), and I price them according to the guide lines you have been receiving in these earlier posts. I also make 5x7 and 8x10 copies of the large pictures which sell for $10 to $15 for 5x7's and $20 to $25 for 8x10's. I generally make the cost of my booth rental from these smaller photo sales and consider the fewer large picture sales gravy.

That's a bit naïve is it not? A known name always sells higher than Joe Blow on the corner. It doesn't matter it it's photographic prints or Levis or hand bags. A DeLorean sells higher than a Chevy Volt. I understand the sentiment and in a perfect world, things might work that way, but not in the real world.

In the real world companies charge SALES TAX. Is he?
