First Friday Art Sale
A photograph from 2nd street on a First Friday in Old city Philadelphia, PA brings out all the city folk. I was meeting the South Jersey camera club to hang out and sell out photographs. There was a great crowd and was able to get some feedback on my photography. Sadly a made no art print sales but enjoyed myself.
I was positioned on the Old Christ church sidewalk and was told by a park ranger to get off the property. I guess the park owns the sidewalk. Furthermore, I still enjoyed myself.
Selling on the street is a good way to find out what people think of your work, and it’s free too. I found it to be a great experience to do street photography with real humans.
Here’s a collection of my First Friday hungry street photography. Street photography at its essence means candid photography of people and humanity. A street photograph has to be a real, unposed moment.

Wow – I missed the free beer! Shows can be fun, I’ve done a few little ones – the church basement type. I don’t really care if I sell anything as long as people stop by and chat about the images. It’s surprising how bad we can be at guessing which photos people are going to like.
Jim, thanks for the visit and the comments, for the record these posts are re-writes from ~10 years ago, to improve things by adding more text and more images, The one image, one liner doesn’t make it with Google.
I never did any grantee to sell shows, the entry fee of $1500 was too high and too risky and to far, I’ve talked to high-end photographer who travel around the country and go to those high end shows. I didn’t have the balls to ask how do you make? lol
Interesting! We have an arts day once a month here, but a much smaller place. I’ve often wondered if I should try to sell some prints.
Steve; Thanks for the comments, I had enjoyable experiences and gained insight on my work, it was better than photography club’s critiques.
If the images triggers and emotion or a memory, they buy it, and it can be a shared memory of a place or thing .
