Just after buying my new DSLR (Nikon D50) I went along to a local event just to take candid potraits with no other reason than to practice.

On going round snapping away I got talking to a few others guys doing the same and one told me how he prints out contact sheets, laminates them and puts them in the local pub with contact details for people to buy.

Despite feeling a bit of a muppet I did the same and whilst the pub landlady bought a few (I didn't realise but managed to catch a fair chunk of her family that day - I'll get them all next time!)I heard nothing since.

Until today I had a phonce call for 20 photo's!! I'm chuffed as a Badger!

Right then I've sold Photies for money, does that make me a pro, eh, go on say it's true!! :D

Seriously I can now relate to the others on here that have sold their first pictures, it's a great feeling!

Just had to share it, I'll shut up now :boxedin:

Cheers

Paul

Yup, photos paid for that makes you a Pro in my book. Well done.
