I do not know your age lorax, but please do not fall into any belief cycle of what 'designers or gallery owners' tell you...they all want YOUR talent...and for almost free. I'm old man now, and learned long ago, not to go with them. I do what i do. I'll work with them, (but now on my terms) but you must stand up to them.
Your above photographs are lovely, exquisite. They will steal if they can. They wish to think that their 'college background'...gives them some right to your inborn talent, Monentarily.
i have read many posts here as i can and see you happy, on an 'island'. continue this way friend, at least with your art.
The work you do is beautiful.

PS: I hope you got the 'old man' part and pay attention to that cynical remark...it was intended. To protect you
PPS: Not meaning to sound so cynical, but when speaking of art, am verrrrrry good at this particular game, and have been played enough to know how to 'hold my cards'...so to speak
