I have put in almost all my shots a link to my portfolio where you can buy the shot as print. Most of the shots making it to the frontpage had more than 100k views (and >30k upvotes). I thought that people who like the shot might think of buying it as a wallpaper or canvas. But nothing happens. Instead a lot of people asked to have my photos for free or even reposted them cropped for mobile. :( Guess this is the truth. Have to accept it.

Tried this morning in front of the cashier to get my stuff for free showing my 100k+ karma and reddit gold. Did not work. So I bet hopes and dreams are still not satisfied.

I will just keep on going with my photos and posting them here. In the end I am also happy when people are enjoying my shots. Guess that's the essence of what art should be: People should take a second look on what they see and think about it.

I prefer to tell stories with my photos. Not my person. I won't change this habit. That's me. Period. If I can't make money with my work. I won't. That's fine.

Copying is nothing bad - even though a lot of people are telling. Look at photos/art you like and try to copy them making them on your own. You will learn a lot. And in the end envelope your own style.
