Although I rarely photograph people, I liked the look on the face of this man as he watched his wife arrange flowers.
A couple days later, I received an e-mail from the man's son. His father had passed away in December. He saw his father's photo on my blog, liked the colors, and wanted to purchase a print.
The easiest and most cost-effective way for me to do this was to upload the photograph to Fine Art America. That way he could select the size/price/format he wanted and would quickly receive the photos. And if other members of his family wanted prints, that could be easily accomplished. And that's what happened.
I don't mean for this to be an ad for Fine Art America. What I really want to say is that I'm pleased I created something that had meaning for someone else.
And now, when I return to the Santa Fe Farmers' Market, it will no longer be just a fun place to photograph, but will have an especial poignance for me, remembering the look on the man's face, standing next to his wife, surrounded by flowers.
