three shots left and then it's all over

[foxtongue]

To re-cap: In an effort to fundraise for my time in Alberta this week, I've been selling digital prints on commission for ten dollars each. So, in return for ten dollars, I sent a digital file large enough to be nicely printed. My pay pal address is bloodkrystal at the hot mail dotty com.

Examples:

This one is for Duncan Shields, a Vancouver writer
(contributor to 365 Tomorrows) and video game animator.

This one went to Jason Sullivan, a microchip designer and
dabbler in AI.

I'm new to your jouranl, and so far I like your work. But could you please explain what you mean by "on commission"? I don't know if it should be obvious and I'm just missing the point.

Hello! Always glad to have new people drop in.

People have been sending me money with requests like 'something to cheer me up' or 'a self portrait like you want me to see you' or 'I want a colourful one'. Now, though, that I've actually left and am on my trip, I'm not taking commissions anymore, but I still have three really nice shots that haven't gone out to anyone. Those are what are still for sale.

Thanks for the quick response. Where can I see the three images left?

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

Heh, lucky I'm stuck insomniatic tonight. The pictures aren't up on-line anywhere, I've been putting them up as people purchase. I was considering putting the extras up and seeing if people would like to claim them, but that seemed unfair, as everyone else recieved a surprise.

I see, so if I were to purchase one it'd have to be a surprise then? I'm not against it at all, but wondering if I could get an idea of what was available? Or, I can always wait til you get back from your trip.

Well, I can tell you there's two B&W and one coloured, they're all singles, and all three have the big fluffy tutu of black doom I made last weekend. As to style, they're all significantly different. Deff more fashion photography than the ones posted in this entry.

I get back on the 8th, but I imagine they'll sell sometime this week. I tucked them in my in-box so I could send them out if anyone asked.

Sounds intersting, are any of them similar to the one in this entry that went to 'Jason'? I like the idea of it, cute tummy/feet/tutu image, and I don't mean that in a weird way either ;-)

The coloured one is almost the same pose, though they don't look the same at all. (There's no feet, for one). It's more centered, brighter, more.. fun? Fun's likely the perfect word for it. heh. Damn this sleepy brain, unable to.. think.. in... uh, you know.. thinking.

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

Damn, I am so so wrong. There's ONE b&w, one that's really colourful, and one that's neither.

[fizeau.livejournal.com]

Haha, sorry to keep you up by being a picky xustomer but I am very interested in purchasing one.

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

No worries at all. I'm only sorry I crashed out asleep before answering everything.

[fizeau.livejournal.com]

Ok, where can I paypal you? 10.00 right?

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

My pay pal address is bloodkrystal at the hot mail dotty com. And ten dollars is perfect.

Slightly off topic, but I LOVE that chair.

The pictures of lovely as well, of course.

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

heh, me too, actually. I'm sorry to see it go.

Sure, remember the microchip design and AI dabbling, but totally leave out the fact I dressed him in silk and stockings year after we stopped living together.

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

Not... WHILE.. you lived together?

OK, payment sent!
