Buy and sell photos

Here we are at Black Friday, or Crass Commercialism Appreciation Day. In that spirit, Bridgehunter.com is pleased to announce new features for buying and selling historic bridge photos on this website.

Sellers

If you have an Editor's Account, you can now add a link to each photo for ordering prints, buying cheesy merchandise, or selling licenses. Just upload your photos to a storefront such as Imagekind, Cafepress, Lulu, etc., and then copy-and-paste the link to the order page for each photo. To make it easier for people to find your photos, you can tag up to 100 photos as a "favorite" and it will appear on your profile page. The options for adding links and favorites are available on the Add Photos and Manage Photos screens.

Of course, uploading photos to other websites is a pain. We now have an extra option to make all (or most) of your photos available for purchase all at once. Here's an example. Your photos will have a "Request this photo" button to make it easy for customers to contact you about requesting a print or license. Then you can upload the high-resolution version of the photo to a site like Imagekind and let the customer order from there. I'm still beta-testing this feature, so if you're interested, let me know so I can set you up.

Buyers

If you're looking for original artwork for Christmas gifts (or for yourself), then keep your eyes peeled for the "Order this photo" or "Request this photo" buttons throughout the website.
