Hii I'm ~D~ I'm TRYING to put together a Photography 'Portfolio' and am

[~D~]

not sure where or how to start! Ideas? over the last few yrs. I have been living in the Rocky Mtns. and have discovered a 'gift' and Passion for Photography! My hubby and I have also been checking out the MANY Gallery's here in our Mountain Community. Also Many people have told Me I should put together a portfolio.*Not just friends and relitives either,hahaa.. After seeing some of the 'artwork' here, I feel that I'm just as good if not Better than many of the Featured Artists/photographers ;o) *although I don't have a degree in photography or any school, just a 'good eye'?..So How does one get their 'Artwork' noticed, and possibly have some kind of 'showing' Myself..maybe even sell a few photos? That'd be REALLY Awesome ;o) Any Ideas anyone!? I'm a retired hairstylist of 26+ yrs. and am happy to have found something else that I'm pretty Darn Good At! might as well TRY and make a few dollars huh : ) lol..Thanks All..~D~
*What about a 'Coffee' Table type Book? the quality looks good, and they are inexpensive 2 make?
