Abbey Ryan paints a small oil painting a day, posts them on her blog (here), then sells them on ebay. She’s been doing it for over a year. Genius. Any photographers doing this yet?

This photographer isn’t selling on eBay but rather directly from her blog, but it’s much the same idea:

I have definitely thought about it. Not an image a day (I print platinum/palladium right now so it would be more like one or two images a week) but much the same idea. I just had a print sale, maybe I will hold off for a month or so and then give it a try.
So far I have 9 limited edition high end canvas Gicliee’s of my images on my site. Starting in November I’ll be adding an image a week most likely printed on paper in larger quantities for a lower price.
You can see how it all started here:

I’ve been doing a daily Polaroid since August 30 and posting them to my blog: blog.camdenhardy.com
I’m not really sure what I’ll be doing with the project in the long term, but I felt that I needed to pay one last homage to Polaroid before the 669 supply runs out forever. I’ll be doing the daily Polaroid for as long as I can buy film.
Nice idea, but she is selling them too cheaply.
I have a photo blog that I’ve been doing for a couple years now.
I shoot for a photo a day, but lately it’s been more like a photo every couple weeks. (it’s been a really busy year)
I call it my Diurnal: http://www.ides-of-may.com
I’ve sold a couple prints, but not a lot. Every so often I do a trivia contest with a photo and the winner gets a free print. It’s fun. It’s amazing how fast people answer when they could win something for free.
I think photo-a-day is a great way to get better at shooting. A few years ago, I was part of the very supportive and inspiring PAD group on Pbase.com. It was a great learning experience. But now, it seems my day job is just too demanding to keep it up. I never thought about selling the images, though. How much should somebody charge for such prolific art production?
A photographer in Brooklyn, Bill Wadman, did a project last year where he shot a portrait a day and plans to publish a book… http://www.365portraits.com Great idea and had to be difficult to pull off!
I started shooting and posting a picture a day on Jan. 1 of this year. Some days are more photogenic than others. http://366images.blogspot.com/
A photo a day would be wonderful, but I have not been able to do that each and every day. I do try to post an image for each weekday. Some are from recent jobs, some are from my files, and more and more, I’m trying to shoot something specifically for my blog. Keeps me thinking. Haven’t tried to push prints yet. http://danrouthphotography.blogspot.com
I started a photoblog in 2003 with the goal of posting an image a day, or something close to it. I think I only made the every day goal one month, but I did post consistently for a year or two. At that point I started to slide as I was doing more regular shooting work.
I never sold prints, but I know some other early photobloggers who did.

i havent been selling them—this never even occurred to me…not how my brain works—but i am currently working on two sites that will eventually produce a book of the images. electriclion.blogspot.com is a daily photo blog and poptpop.com is an ongoing-but-not-daily place to show Pictures of people taking pictures of people.
so selling every day..no. selling all together, likely.

I just recently began a projectabout selling on eBay. Photographs and drawings are exhibited and bidders complete each work by determining it’s value.
Oops, that link didn’t work. It’s thecommodities.blogspot.com.
Good for people to know.
