WOW.  This gets the gears going in my head!   www.forbes.com/sites/jeffbercovici/2014/...ne-day-on-instagram/


He sold his photos for one day for $150 each on Instagram, James Franco even bought one.

That's what I call a pay day.  What would be cool is if he did that more than one day.  Imagine that?

I was reading this earlier, not bad daily earnings.  I don't think I would like to sell my photos for $150.  Brands you as a discount shop if you ask me.

This would have paid for nearly our entire trip coming up.  Well not all of it, but still would have covered most.  Now watch a trend of copy cats liquidating their photos for pennies to flip a buck.

Um, selling a single 4x6 print for $150 is "discount?" I don't think so. The guy made a killing. P.T. Barnum had it right.
