I've recently turned 70 and been thinking a lot about what a great life I've had, and to have made it this far. Will I still be selling photographs 30 years from now, God only knows, but it's doubtful. Will I be selling over the next 10 years, I'm hopeful. In the coming months I plan to work more on my website, add many more photographs to my two Etsy stores, and sell sell sell lots and lots here on .
