The Rolli SL 66 has truly valid paralex correction. The great lenses are available at a reasonable price. There's an expression amongst the artists in Venice Beach, CA when somebody likes your work they say, "I'll buy that." Sometimes they'll trade - always one for one - and if you get good feedback you can say, 'I don't know why, but I sell.' So, hit the street with a 20 pic portfolio and go to the galleries. "Here's a sample of what's been selling," (see above) and listen, listen to what they say. Always leave with 'can I come back,' if they don't take the work. Or, 'can I leave it for three months, and see if you can sell it, too.' Maybe it's not selling because they're not confident with themselves. It's an art to selling photography, and sometimes the sales persons are not as good as you think they might be. S.

I too have never sold a photo and never had one published. However, I see this as a failing on the part of the slack jawed image buying public and not on my photographic prowess. F*** 'em all. As long as you've got a mundane government job to pay some of the bills, let the others pile up and shoot, shoot, shoot. However, if you really need to sell, do it on eBay. You don't even have to know what something is worth because you've got an international market. Where else can you sell a Rolleiflex lens hood for $700.00 US? You don't ship anything until you've got the cash. Greg
