I&#8217;m stopping the sale of photo PRINTS with Smugmug and just doing digital purchases and career-packages these days.. Smugmug costs $384 a year to host photos.. I&#8217;ve been using it as a file backup for all of my photos for years.. and now I&#8217;m stopping.. people buy the digital photos and make prints themselves.. which doesn&#8217;t cost me $384 a year to sell prints and that takes months to re-coup.  So.. Keep an eye on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/viewthroughmylens.net\">Facebook page<\/a> as I post lots of OLD photos from the past, that I&#8217;m backing up to my Amazon Prime (Amazon Photos) account instead!
