How about asking local businesses and/or malls if you can set up a display of your work in their stores? Go to schools and offer to take photographs of their top achievers and place a display in the school, churches, malls - where ever you can. How about offering to photograph homeless pets who are at rescues or shelters and having local publications feature pets of the week (even local television stations will do this). Of course, each project will have signs letting the public know who the photographer is. I'll put my thinking cap on and see what else I can come up with. Marilyn
