Just wanted to share my excitement with someone who might understand what it's like to make an unexpected first sale![]()
This evening I received and email from a friend in New York to say that she had transferred some money to my PayPal account. Previously she had asked if she could put a copy of my Flamingo image on her new 20" iMac to cheer her up after week's of grey days in New York.
Of course I said yes and she send money.
I'm so excited that I've just printed off the notification from PayPal.

Well done Stephen. It IS a great feeling - there is no doubt about that. Here's to the next one!!
Thanks everyone.
I see that my excitement to share my news meant that I'd forgotten how to use English properly and check my words in my post above. Thank goodness I have finally learned how to use my camera for at least one shot ![]()

Well done Stephen.
I had a first sale to a family member not so long ago, they bought a canvas print of a sunset for their wall. The best feeling was when I visited recently and got to see it hung on their wall :o)
Thanks everyone - It's a great feeling to know that you know what it's like .....
The first tastes sooo sweet but subsequent sale are far more satisfying especially repeat customers.
Congratulations
Well done Stephen, know how you feel, sold my first picture a few months ago, its a great feeling!!!!!
