my-first (1)

I'm 52 and ready to take mine and my husbands' hobby of hiking and photography to the next level!

But, even though I recieve alot of positive feedback on my nature photos...are they good enough to sell???

I have questions I would love for someone to help me with:

My first show will be Aug. 14

Do have absolutley need a tax I.D. now??

Some apps are not requiring it.

I've read some of your comments on the hassels with the credit card co. I think I will wait to apply for that untill later..good idea or will my business greatly benifit from allowing cc sales?

Is there a good market for nature pics?

I would love some SIMPLE ideas for bookkeeping please.

How do I protect my photos once they are on my site - or any where on the web? I saw someones pic on this site with the words "patend" or similer...I know someone could still steal it and photo shop out the words. Sad to think, but I've heard stories where a pic was stolen and used for personal gain!!

I fall short of calling myself a photographer...I'm a nature picture taker!! I don't have much knowledge of high-end camera's or fancy techniques. I just have a love ot walking in nature and spending that time with my husband of 35 years!
