Proper Types

In Photography, Sales on 10 October 2009 with No Comments

Taken in April of 2008, during one of my only two photo excursions with members of a local Flickr group. The typewriter pictured was, and for all I know still is, part of the decor at Proper Eats in the St. Johns neighborhood of Portland.

Despite the fair number of decent photographs I’ve taken on those two photo walks, my general dislike of large group activities, and my tendency to view myself unfavorably when surrounded by more knowledgeable photograpers, has kept me from going out on another. In fact, it’s been quite a long time even since I last added any photos to the group (or any group’s) Flickr pool.

That said, Proper Types has proven to be one of my best-selling photographs, so in terms both creative and commercial that last excursion certainly was not a waste of anyone’s time. Unsurprisingly, sales of Proper Types have tended to skew towards people for whom, in some fashion, writing is an (a)vocation.

Second in an occasional series highlighting photographs available as prints for purchase. Buy a Proper Types print.
