Boy do I hear you on all this. I have tried and failed so many times at making my photography a viable income source. . . .including on Etsy which similarly was nothing but crickets. I've decided to quit trying and just accept it for what it is: a passion that I can't put down but that isn't going to pay the bills. (writing also qualifies as this lol) Lately I sold a few prints when I put it out there that I needed the money for a special project; just about everybody who bought them were friends. It did pay for the film and framing, so the fundraiser was a success in that respect and I am super grateful. Anyway, your photography is beautiful - submit to galleries, do it! Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
