FINAL PRINT SALE ANNOUNCEMENT
Sale ends at midnight tonight. Then the blog will finally stop looking like a PBS telethon. I think this has definitely been a win/win for everyone involved. HONY is now financially secure for the foreseeable future, and a large number of you will be receiving some beautiful, signed art in the next couple of weeks. You are going to love how these look.
I love what this print sale has demonstrated. First off, it shows that HONY can be self-supporting without sponsorship or ads. On a more personal level, it has validated some of my deepest convictions. I can’t tell you how many times over the past two years I’ve heard: “Nice photographs, but you’re crazy if you think you will ever make money doing this.”
It’s taken nearly two years of being broke, but I can finally do what I love full time and know where rent is coming from next month. All because of you. And because of Facebook and Tumblr, which helped me find you. So thank you. If there’s anyone out there who still wants prints, you can get them here until midnight:

For everyone who has ordered, all the photographs are being printed early next week. My goal is to have them all mailed by week’s end. I will keep everyone updated on the progress.
Again, thank all of you for your support.
