Your photos that you have posted are fine for your album, but are mostly mediocre snapshots that anyone could snap and then print at Wallyworld or Snapfish pretty cheap. Anything that people can snap for themselves probably won t be easy (or possible) to sell. I didn t see anything that looked sell-able as either stock or fine art. That s not to say they re all terrible, but not at the level where you could make any real money. You might try printing a few and inserting them into greeting cards and trying the local cafes, coffee shops etc. The barn might be of local interest. Your new dSLR will open new horizons for you, but you have to prepare yourself to take advantage of the better performance and features. A more expensive/better/more advanced camera by itself will not automatically make you a better photographer. So continue learning and practicing and enjoy your new camera!|::::|Hmm you can sell those photos online. Oh and if you get your dslr, you can offer doing photography in weddings, special birthdays or parties. You can put flyers up or somehwere online where your willing to do some duty off that camera(: i think it will be best if you started shooting pictures for your family or friends occations. Oh yeah and your pictures are fantastic! Take care(:|::::|I donno... maybe you could put it up on art.com or allposters.com an art website like that. I think that you need to get a membership with them to upload your pics, but it will definately give you a wider market - its global = )|::::|i dont know. that doll picture is really creepy though.
