Recommendation: Purchase A Photo

[Michael J Armijo]

HOW? JOIN the BUYERS CLUB Group.

As far as supporting our ARTIST network...please find a photo that so INSPIRES You. Send that Photographic Artist a private message.

Perhaps "once every 3 months"
OR
"once every 6 months"
and negotiate a price to BUY that photo that you so love for your 'Private Collection'.

Perhaps a 5 x 7 or 8 x 10 or FIND out if they sell their work on another photo site.
TARGET: 3 months from today: Aug 13, 2008
6 months from today: Nov 13, 2008.
FIND YOUR Favorite Photographic Artist...Buy a masterpiece by Aug. 13, 2008 and/or another by Nov. 13, 2008.
SIMPLY a Recommendation to encourage appreciation of one another. Thank you. :)

Good idea, "butch". I like that...a "Buyers Club". Hmmm...I'm still familiarizing myself with this site, too. Maybe we can have anyone who does BUY post there experience HERE...or post somewhere and we can denote BUYER next to their name or something. All other ideas welcome. :)
Hugs,
Michael

Okay, Butch...I stole your title (THE BUYERS CLUB) and posted it here as a new GROUP for those who want to join. The objective is for all those who join to BUY photography every 3 months...at least one image...and we'll see how it goes from there. I like the idea of donating a greeting photo card to the one who purchases the MOST in a 6 month period. JOIN 'THE BUYERS CLUB' group and we can refine our ideas there from now on. I also think we should only BUY photographic works from MEMBERS who are in 'THE BUYERS CLUB". :) Hugs, Michael

JOIN "THE BUYERS CLUB" Group if you want to try and sell your work to other artists here who are more apt to BUY. The only requirement is that YOU buy one item from one photographer every 3 months--not too much to ask--it can be as small as ONE photo greeting card or whatever...up to you to negotiate with the photographer you are buying from. Thank You.

A question:
I think we all would love to know if some one want to buy a piece of Art of any of the photographer, does this mean the picture sold willl not be for the Artist anymore? Or he/she can still have the right to load it what ever he/she wants and to sell it again and again when ever and what ever they want?
Another question, if a Photographer wanted to buy the picture, it will be send as a picture over the web? Or the person will send it by mail Signed, Numbered & Printed as a 5*7 or 8*10 and more?
Thank you!

Hi JoeCacia...
If I chose to buy one of your photos it would ALWAYS remain your work (forever). I would just OWN one of your masterpieces (so-to-speak) in my home or in my private collection of photography. You would still be able to upload your photo and sell it again...you do NOT lose the rights to your photo at all. If I wanted to buy one of your pics the BUYER would not want it sent over the web---at least I WOULDN'T---but you never know. I believe they'd want a greeting card, a print, or have it done on canvas. The BUYER would negotiate with you on price and exactly what they want...actually. I hope that helps. I hope you decide to join the BUYERS CLUB...but it's not a required Group to join. It's up to you.
Hugs,
Michael ;)

A great way of self support

Hi Richard...The BUYERS CLUB on this site was never successful. However, there is another BUYERS CLUB that is proving to work out well here:

Feel free to join...if interested.
Hugs,
Michael ;)
