- Nice stuff! Let me tell you you cannot buy this type of endorsement. If you don’t have a section on your website for what people are saying about your work, start one. Make a little sign of what was said and when you are at art shows, put the signs near the photos and display the ones that have gotten the most recent comments. it may help sell them. People like to know what experts in the field are saying. enjoy the kudos. Marie (Curtis Photography)
