Art photographers often market and sell their work through various Print on Demand (POD) platforms. Fine Art America, a popular and long-standing POD site, has been a valuable resource for many artists. I've been a member since 2011, and while my sales haven't skyrocketed into thousands of dollars, I earn some extra income for occasional dinners.

Around the same time I joined Fine Art America, I authored a book on navigating POD websites. Interestingly, when I wanted to include 'Fine Art' in the title, the editors suggested otherwise, recommending 'Artistic Photography' instead, as they felt my work didn't fit the traditional definition of 'Fine Art.'"

When that happened, my photographer's self-esteem dropped a notch. It may be a realistic assessment. I’m grateful that it happened, as it just adds one more story to my other creative outlet, writing.
