    Just want to say thanks Tom for all the helpful hints. I have some of my
    photos on some sites trying to sell them and no buyers of course. I have
    people say that they love my photos, but hardly ever anyone asks to buy
    them or whatever. I had an opportunity to Hang some of my photos back
    around last year this time and missed the opportunity by not having the
    funds to have all them framed and hangable at the time. But I am going to
    be trying again soon and getting my work out there. Thanks again for all
    your helpful hints. Happy New Year

    We want to get the recognition out there of John’s service to Hollywood yet
    maintain the protection of these images. If I were to post them in coffee
    shops to be known… I would have to do HEAVY HALFTONING on those publicity
    Hollywood photos with John Tartaglia and all those actors at the Chinese
    Theatre. We want to give John Tartaglia (my great uncle) the recognition he
    deserves without intanglements for doing the footprint ceremonies til 87,
    his last with Eddie Muprhy’s ceremony.

    Thank you very much. Word of mouth will only go so far. I’m going to try
    this out this year. It’s only January so hopefully something will come of
    it.

    @danndavinci Sorry for the delay, I didn’t realize these comments were
    online. They do not email me when someone posts. eHow has control. I know a
    lot on this topic. I went to school for offset lithography before I went to
    school for computer following by photography school.

  9. Tom Sapp says:

    @nutzintheass Thanks for the comment. Everyone is entitled to their own
    opinion. I went to school for photography where I was required to purchase
    a 645 medium format camera. I know film very well and i’m here to tell you
    my 645 does not come close to the clarity I get from a nikon D3s shooting
    RAW with ED glass. It’s easy to say but the facts do not represent the
    statement you have made. Now, digital back on a 645 … that’s clarity …
    but i’d still take my D3s to jobs

    Good day! Have you tried photo sfxart tricks (do a google search)? My buddy
    Bellinda made some awesome photos with their photography tutorials.

  13. ☯Zen☯ says:

    were do you put your name on the photo?

  14. nutzintheass says:

    digital is a JOKE! dont get me wrong, i have a dslr but if you wanna go
    pro, put in some money for a medium format film. it takes a true
    photographer to learn to do all manual and develop film in the dark room.
    it takes more time but if youre a true artist, thats what youll go with.

  15. Michelle Koebke says:

    Can you add your NAME and webpage as a tag to this video? I don’t see it
    below? You ARE talking about the importance of getting your name OUT
    THERE… Lol. beautiful work, by the way 🙂

  16. DarkWolf14X says:

    How can I get my name out there when i’m only 13? 🙁 Many people love my
    photos. I’ve been taking nature photography since i was 11. Is there a way
    at my age i can get my name out there?(or sell?)

  17. CocaColaGirl77 says:

    thnx dude, im getting into nature photography

  18. natashamcqueen says:

    Did you make alot of money?

  19. frogbuddy01 says:

    Me too! I love animals and photography, so I started wildlife photography
    but im only 14, an dI was thinking that since not everybody uses a
    technological calendar, I have experience with things kind of like
    that(yearbook for my school), then I could use my photos, for calendars and
    sell them online, and eventually I could start framing my photos and
    selling them.

  20. Tom Sapp says:

    @Donatillo1961 I realize it’s been forever. Sorry for the delay. To start I
    would recommend any SLR camera that allows you to shoot manual and as
    physical adjustments for aperture and shutter speed so you can shoot manual
    easily. Using presets teaches nothing.

  21. Kubow13 says:

    take a look at the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 its realy good quality and its
    what im getting

  22. RossEylesPhotography says:

    Yeah mate I’m exactly the Same. I’m 15 and I’m seriously interested in
    wildlife photography and i hope to make a career out of it. But I have
    absolutely no idea how to start selling my photos 🙁

  23. danndavinci says:

    Hey Tom… What would you recommend for displaying a personal collection of
    Original Publicity Photos having to do with the Footprint Ceremonies at the
    Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, CA. The Tartaglia Family would like to get
    word out that JOHN TARTAGLIA was the cement artist who served Hollywood,
    CA, 1953-1987, after Jean Klossner. He has been written out of history in
    recent publishings but with his FACE PHOTO in the images such as Sidney
    Poitier’s ceremony. The photo was used as a postcard.

    sir i always watch your videos,im learning so easy because your explaining
    it clearly… im one of your imaginary student…. i salute you sir..

  25. Wilder wild says:

    If you don’t want to go Compact you should choose either a Nikon D5000 or a
    Canon EOS 450D or 500D. You also have the Very price worthy Pentax K-x Then
    there are sony and olympus as well to choose from.
