    Many of you have complimented me on my pictures that I have posted - Thank you! I have been thinking about taking my pictures (I have THOUSANDS) and making calendars (themed - wildlife, Africa, Islands, Middle East, Nature, etc.) and selling them on-line (one of my websites or maybe somewhere else).

    Any thoughts or ideas on how I could do this? Where do I find a manufacturer? Where can I sell them? Are my pictures good enough to use?

    If this violates terms of the forum, please delete.

    Thanks!

    BBB there is a website call CafePress ( http://www.cafepress.com ) that allows you to create custom calendars and prints from your own images and then sell them through their website. They take care of the manufacturing, payment collection, delivery etc... and charge a commission on each product sold.

    I wouldn't have known where to start, Frank's info sounds like a great idea.
    As to the quality of your photos . . . they are really lovely.
    I think they'd make very appealing calendar art or framed prints.

    Go for it Andrew as your photographs are as good as any I've seen in the National Geographic Magazine. Do let us know if you meet with any success won't you?

    Thank you for the compliments... all I do is push the button... mother nature does the hard stuff.

    I will definately keep you updated on my progress... and yes, they do make great framed art... I have a number of them on my walls at home. None here yet, though.
