Feeling a warm glow

Yesterday I sold a greeting card of my 'Star Crossed Lovers' image at Fine Art America to a buyer in Fairborn, Ohio and was thrilled to have made a sale. As usual, I posted a thank you message to the buyer on Facebook. When I logged in to Facebook this morning, I was amazed to find a private mail with the following message:-

'I am the "buyer from Fairborn, Oh," lol. I wanted to tell you how your photo of the "star-crossed lovers" means so much to me. I am pushing 50, but almost exactly a year ago, my first high school boyfriend found me on Facebook. For over 32 years, we had each kept every photo, letter, momento. My health is failing and we will never be. I saw your photo a while ago when I googled "star-crossed lovers" and couldn't get it out of my mind. It is the expressions, in stone no less, but also how you so beautifully captured them in your photo. So I sought it out again to give him this card on our "anniversary" of being reacquainted. I just wanted to thank you for the breathtaking photo and thought that you might like to know how much your work meant to a total stranger.'

I am feeling such a warm glow that one of my images has moved someone enough to purchase it and then search me out in the social media and send me a message telling me how much the image meant to them. Such feedback is always appreciated and reminds me that my work can mean so much to other people.

    I am a photographer based in the Rhymney Valley in South East Wales.

    I like to photograph a broad range of subjects and do not feel that photography should be limited to one specific genre. I also enjoy processing the images that I take in many different styles in an attempt to keep my photographic style fresh.

    You can buy my work in a number of outlets. Please check my welcome page for a list of these outlets
