Russ's idea is very good, because if you join the art guild, you make some connections and flea markets and craft shows are cheap to get a atble at. Joining will cost money, though. In terms of pricing, base it on size and the cost of supplies. If the frame+matte+printing is $20, if you're selling outright and selling say, 4 units...sell them for $30 a piece. Its not a huge margin, but you've just made $40 at once. If the shop wants to consign, so they don't have to pay you until it sells, base the price on your commission. if you get 60% of the sale price, figure out a price that makes you enough of a margin, but still prices the photo competitively, so it sells faster.
