Winchester Town Day 02 Pictures

At the beginning of 2002, Daphne embarked on a new career. After years of part time programming, Daphne decided to go into the jewelry making business. She started a new company, Daphne's Designs, and started to build up an inventory of original, hand-made pieces. Winchester Town Day, on June 8th, was Daphne's first opportunity to sell her wares (not counting the web site, which went live a few weeks earlier).

The whole family was excited about this event. Donna, my mother, came in from Kansas to help out. Daphne had business cards printed up, and bought a canopy to keep the sun off us. And, of course, there was all the jewelry that Daphne made in the preceding few months.

Daphne also convinced me to take some photographs and sell them at town day. On three different occasions, I took pictures that I felt captured the spirit of Winchester. Then, I made prints of the best and matted them for sale. I had 8 different photographs, including three copies of the one that we though was my best for Town Day (You can see a copy of this picture of Downtown Winchester here).

It was an interesting day. We got a decent amount of traffic at the booth, but in hindsight, Daphne was probably selling the wrong type of jewelry. People come to town day expecting to buy cheap trinkets and not expensive, hand-made pieces. As for me, I sold two of my pictures (and then sold one more a week later). All three pictures that sold were the same shot of downtown Winchester.
