People ask why I post so much. I'll tell you why.

52. I looked at hosting sites that sell prints for you.

It's too competitive for the effort it takes, And I look at my photos as personal expression. My Dad was an artist and sold none of his paintings. He did commercial art for a living.

I also don't see photography as competitive. It's self expression! One imprints one's soul in a fine picture. Not a competitive sport. It's a private conversation.

See Joseph Conrad:

To arrest, for the space of a breath, the hands busy about the work of the earth, and compel men entranced by the sight of distant goals to glance for a moment at the surrounding vision of form and colour, of sunshine and shadows; to make them pause for a look, for a sigh, for a smile—such is the aim, difficult and evanescent, and reserved only for a very few to achieve. But sometimes, by the deserving and the fortunate, even that task is accomplished. And when it is accomplished—behold!—all the truth of life is there: a moment of vision, a sigh, a smile—and the return to an eternal rest.

All that said, I'd love to find a way to share photos with DU'ers. Copy and print. I'll add that to my priority list.
