I present to you my latest venture, Pete’s Print Shop, where you can buy photographic images transfered onto pieces of paper using technology.
Some notes.
It’s still kinda beta. Let me know if anything doesn’t work or make sense.
The actual selection of photos on there is pretty random right now but it’ll change over time. There’s an RSS feed which monitors new additions and I’ll probably subtly mention them on this blog too. I welcome suggestions as to which photos would make good prints.
I’ve set the price at £15.00 per print including postage which seems reasonable based on other online print shops I’ve seen. I may be wrong about this. Time will tell.
Only 16 photos will be on sale in the shop at any given time but all photos from my Flickr stream can be ordered on request.
Order fulfillment is done by Photobox on demand. This means actual processing of orders will take a couple of minutes, if that. This is important for scalability reasons. Payment is through PayPal for the same reasons. I want to commit to this long term so it mustn’t become a drag.
If this works I plan to expand the shop to sell prints by other photographers.
Feedback is welcome. As, of course, are actual orders!
Oh that’s fantastic. I want one!
(non rhetorical)
Prices? I’m currently offering to make proper darkroom one-off hand prints from people’s own b&w negativess, 10 x 8 (ish) for only £20 each. So on digi prints, don’t know. Content is always the thing, though.. and willing buyer, willing seller and all that… :)
Do you have an rss feed for the main blog? Just discovered it (via Any Pryke’s site) and would like to keep an eye on it
Unlike Prykey I’ve got feeds coming out of my RSSrse but this one is probably the best – it combines the main blog and the linklog in one handy stream.
Oh, and welcome! Glad you like my shit!
