New Image Thread That Should Be Interesting

I was going to go first but I decided to let several people to go first to get some gauge as to rather this thread, being a little different than the usual, has any interest.

Awesome idea, Floyd!!! I'll be back to play when I have more time!! 😁

Well, I can remember my first sale on FAA very well, it was a small print of this owl:



Eagle owl Bubo bubo portrait, look at those eyes!

242 pages of sales ago, this Red-Tailed hawk in flight sold on 8/19/2009

My first sale was a canvas print of El Sol de Mexico in July of 2013.

My 2nd sale was this Doggie Diner from the turpentine addiction days when I was doing oil on canvas.

"One of many Doggie Diner eateries that were sprinkled along Northern California. This piece represents a time when things were simpler and the fascination for roadside architecture and all things whimsical was at its height."

My first sale was 5 large prints from the same buyer so I was spoiled right away LOL!

This was my first sale on FAA!
It is a photograph that I took during a snow storm in Charlotte, North Carolina.

These racing stripes sold next...

This is a Lake Michigan Sunset with Dune Grass. It's not only the first one I've sold, it's also one of my most popular images.



I've pinned the three images above my own :-)

My very first sale was about three weeks after I started selling on FAA, it was Maluaka Beach Sunset and I was thrilled!



Maluaka Beach is often also called Makena Beach. Makena is actually one beach down from this one. No matter what its name, it's breathtaking! Maluaka is my absolute favorite beach on Maui and a great place to see honu (sea turtles) during the day.

The Fabulous Fountains at Bellagio, Las Vegas

WOW! Some really great images here! Thank you all for sharing them.

Jessica, if they were all one buyer, post them if you want. The thread is still young! :-)

My first sale was not five in one but it was a 60 inch canvas so I was very happy!



Innocence by William Bouguereau

William-Adolphe Bouguereau (French: November 30, 1825 - August 19, 1905) was a French academic painter and traditionalist. In his realistic genre paintings he used mythological themes, making modern interpretations of classical subjects, with an emphasis on the female human body. During his life he enjoyed significant popularity in France and the United States, was given numerous official honors, and received top prices for his work.

My first image sold on faa - Capitol, Madison, Wisconsin. Also one of my first hdr images.

I just shared each images to a couple of SM sites.

This picture of San Miguel de Allende at night was my second sale.

My first sale was also my second and fourth! At the time, this image was available on Amazon. Unfortunately, it wasn't long after that that the "partnership" was dissolved.

The sight of three wind turbines in a cornfield in the farmland of western Iowa has become an iconic, Midwestern landscape.

This sweet little bear cub was the first piece I sold, right after I joined. He lived near Gatlinburg, TN, with his gorgeous mama and his little sibling.

This was my first sale.

In this piece titled Moon Rise After the Rain I was playing with color and how the rain changes them as everything is washed clean. A twilight moonrise in the purply blues of evening.

August 14, 2014...and one of my favorites...a Sunset Tree in Ocean City, Maryland. Photographed at the west end of 80th Street looking over Assawoman Bay. You can tell this is not a summertime shot - because there are no leaves on the tree.

My first sale its my hometown

2nd Sale - Sold 7/26/12 Desolate Splendor

Lake Jean, Rickets Glen State Park, Pennsylvania.
This image is of Lake Jean in the winter. The lake had a thin coat of ice and the sun was just perfect to reflect all the winter baron trees. It was a magical site that just had to be captured.

Los Alamos Stage Company by Floyd Snyder

The Alamos Stage Company hauled passengers and U.S. Mail to most of the communities that made up the area between Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo California. It included Santa Barbara, Los Olivos, and Los Alamos.

Both Cold Springs Tavern and Mattie's Tavern, old stagecoach stops, are operating today as dinner houses. The Santa Barbara Carriage Musem has dozens of the old stages and wagons that made the run over San Marcus Pass during the horse and buggy days of the old west.

Enjoy! Floyd Snyder, FASGallery.com

Avila Beach is a census-designated place in San Luis Obispo County, California, USA and located about 160 miles (257 km) northwest of Los Angeles, and about 200 miles south of San Francisco. The ZIP Code is 93424. The community is inside area code 805. The population was 1,627 at the 2010 census.

The name Avila commemorates Miguel ￿ila, who was granted Rancho San Miguelito in 1842. The town was established in the latter half of the 19th century, when it served as the main shipping port for San Luis Obispo. Around this time, Luigi Marre built a honeymoon hotel here and steamboats brought customers from San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Although Avila Beach still has a working commercial fishing pier and the inland areas have extensive apple orchards, tourism is now the main industry. There are few historical structures remaining; among the oldest is the Point San Luis Light, built in 1890 after a series of shipping accidents.

Two people sharing a moment of Chicago urban scenic beauty from Michigan Avenue at the Chicago River.

Number 1 From The Whites At Spanish Bay by Barbara Snyder

Spectacular Seaside Golf
Meandering among sweeping sand dunes along 17-Mile Drive, The Links at Spanish Bay unveils some of the most spectacular seaside views in Pebble Beach. The rolling fairways gently flow through and around the gorgeous dunescape, briefly weaving between towering Monterey Pines, before returning to the white sand of Spanish Bay Beach for a thrilling finish along the coast.

The spectacular setting offers panoramic ocean views of some of 17-Mile Drive’s most scenic stretches, showing off whitecaps bouncing on the power Pacific and a brilliant sunset. The Links at Spanish Bay is very much a sensory overload, with the smell of the beach carried in by a cooling ocean breeze, the sight of the spectacular jagged coastline, and the sound of the famed bagpiper leading you home at the end of a twilight round.

This was taken with an old 35 mm Instamatic back in 1970 on my first trip Monterey.

In those days there was a path that allowed you to walk all the way out the tree and view it up close and personal.

Never sold anything!

I think this was the second, My FAA count is a great inventory of my paintings, It does make me appreciate the amount of originals that have sold. There are still some to be had, HA. I need some prints to sale to help the Course of this work balance out. Thanks for asking.

Sold at the same time as "Jackalope Wrangler". The funny thing is that the person who bought this photo wasn't related to the racing team at all - it was just some random person from half way across the country.

My first sale was of the Majestic Mt Denali in Alaska Denali National Park. At the time I took it, it was known as Mt McKinley. It was such a beautiful and crisp summer day when I took this. The mountain is hard to capture during the summer because it's usually foggy. I have since sold this image a few other times too.

US Post Office Los Olivos CAL by Floyd Snyder

Los Olivos is a census-designated place in the Santa Ynez Valley of Santa Barbara County, California. The ZIP Code is 93441, and the community is inside area code 805. The population was 1,132 at the 2010 census.

Interesting trivia. The owner of this car has 12 old corvettes. All of them this red and all of the driven regularly and kept in show room condition.

This is an original photo graph by Barbara Snyder that has been posterized in the style of Obama's early campaign poster.

"Mermaid Under Moonlight" -- Mr. Rick's Cocktails Neon Sign in Avila Beach, California

"Where does a mermaid go to get a drink around here?" Why Mr. Rick's, of course! A long-time favorite in the beach town of Avila Beach, this is the place to go and have a good time. So get out of the water and into a cocktail on a beautiful moonlit night. You never know who you'll meet at Rick's.

Number 17 was this beachfront bar in the town of Avila Beach, California.

Hi, all. I shared the 3 above me on FB.

Cat, gato, pretty pet taking cat nap in a Valparaiso, Chile window above flower planter garden. Siesta time, kitty!

My very first (from a customer who followed me here from Etsy):

They call it the Lone Cypress. But it really isn't. The most photographed tree in the world sit out on a rugged, rocky point jutting out into the pacific ocean alone side the famous 17 Mile drive in Monterey California. But there is actually two tress on that point. This is the second one. It is smaller and only about half way out to the very tip of the rock formation.

American Flag Old Glory by Floyd Snyder

This particular flag was flying of the Hoover Damn back in the 1980's when you could park your car after driving across it and then walk across the damn and back. The day I did this it was very cold and very windy and the flag was blowing straight out and there was not a sole around. It was very moving experience to be able to have such an iconic landmark all to myself. There was no security at all, not even a parking lot attendant. Today security is very high and parking is no longer free.

Thank you, Besty Ross, for such a beautiful flag and such a wonderful symbol of our country.

The flag of the United States of America, often referred to as the American flag or U.S. flag, is the national flag of the United States.

My sale # 23 was a print of a Flowering Red Ginger Plant close-up Photography Square Format with Green Bokeh

Oh yeah, the first one, a mellow late day shot of the Assawoman Bay in Ocean City, MD. OC keeps being my best location for images that sell.

Sorry, I though I posted in a different thread, here is my first sale.
