Should I have accounts with the primary and a partner program?

Which competition to apply to?

There are a lot of competition out there, but which ones to apply to?  I've figured out I should read the terms and conditions very closely to see if I'll actually get anything out of it.  Many allow for complete loss of rights based on "minor" changes but many are very reasonable about advertising.

But most want $30ish for the first level of entry and how many $30 hits do I want on my bottom line?

To whole sale or not to wholesale?

When to post?

With the publishers working 2 to 6 months out, should I hold on to my winter photos until June?

blood moon quick look

quick export

Well, it will have to be a really strong aurora for us to have a chance at seeing them until September.  But we did catch the first half of the lunar eclipse.  Clouds fought us the entire way and completely (still reviewing early morning images) for the rest of the night.

I'll be trying the Lightroom to Blogger export on the lunar eclipse after I get the images off the camera.

CoOp : Sold the Sun over the Spit Metal Print which we happened to have a replacement for.  Now, the discussion is whether or not to stock another replacement.  We think we actually broken even for March and April at the CoOp which is a first.

Day before Tax Dooms Day

Tis the day before tax deadline and we managed to get the taxes done last week.  We are very tired of cost of goods sold, inventory and K-1 schedules.  And maybe next year we'll actually have an annual profit.  Right now, the photo business is a money pit or black hole.   

Tried for auroras last night and the horizon never got dark.  We're very close to not having a photographer's night at on the 59th Latitude.
