In early October 2013 I passed the 10,000 fan milestone on my Facebook photography fan page. I held an open forum for questions from Facebookland and recorded my responses in this video. Had a blast making it and I hope you all enjoy it!

I read somewhere that you left the engineering field to pursue photography. How often (if ever) you ever regret doing that? How uncertain has it been financially (vice versa how rewarding has it been personally)? Has it been detrimental to any of your relationships (girlfriend, wife, family) being out in the field so much? How rewarding do you find the art show circuit (personally and financially.) I'm a dude with an engineering background who's going back and forth thinking about doing the same thing (but who hasn't yet jumped off the deep end.)

My son-in-law's photos are truly amazing. I asked him if he'd mind if I used them to print, frame, and sell for him. But now I'm thinking... I've never sold any of even my work so how do I go about putting a price on it. How do I make this jump from making art to selling? Do you think I'd have to do the art fairs or just have a gallery on line? And prices??? Any ideas? You kind of did the science end then jumped to the art and business end. How did you achieve it? Thanks! Sorry this is so long!
