Landscape photographers rely on selling prints. These "bread and butter" prints are often sold by word of mouth through the average person. Facebook is ideal for this. In the past online sales of fine art prints were mediocre but when someone you know recommends you, it's a different scenario. Now the "trust factor" is in favor of the photographer trying to sell prints online. One of my priorities is building a fan base on Facebook. Imagine (...which I am still imagining myself...)having a fan page of 3000, and submitting a photo that potentially passes everyone's eyes?

I have a photo of a man I would really like to find but don't know how to go about it. Is there any way a person can do this?? I'm not even sure the name I have is his real name, I doubt it. I was scammed on Tagged.com and I think the scammer used this mans photo and I would really like to find the man in the photo and let him know. These scammers out there are really hurting people in more ways than one. If you have any advice please help me...thank you. Linda I have a question and not sure if you can help me or not.
