It’s hard to believe that I am again opening my colorful transient gallery with spring themed compositions in my GeoGalleries portfolio! It is called, well, “SPRING“! And has offerings in canvas. I open it on the first day of spring and close it on the first day of summer. This means that the gallery will be closed on Jun 20, 2025, until next spring.
The reasoning behind transient, seasonal galleries
Although I have many botanical photos which I would like to showcase and perhaps sell a print of, I also understand that having all of them up for sale concomitantly can potentially discourage costumers from making a purchase.
Decision paralysis or “choice overload”
I think this concept was first elaborated by Alvin Toffler in his 1970 book “Future Shock,” . The author describes how having too many options can lead to anxiety, indecision, and ultimately, a decreased likelihood of making a choice. Choice overload can cause individuals to feel overwhelmed and dissatisfied, often resulting in the avoidance of making any decision.
I try to keep my website simple and offer few choices
I have trimmed my GeoGalleries site to the point that I mostly work with seasonal galleries. Although I am not certain that this will result in more print sales, I believe that not overwhelming people with way too many images will invite them to stay a little longer on my site.
A photo from Ananda tulip gardens
Besides the FEATURED PHOTOGRAPH, I have another new one in my gallery that captures the delicate beauty of a red tulip bending down in the midst of blue blossoms. Although there is a sad tone to the image, of bending down to the weight of one’s head, it can also be interpreted as a symbol of resilience. Either way, I think the photograph has an emotional appeal to it, something I tend to try achieve in my photographs.
