Smugmug [View all]

got an email from smugmug last night . (on a friday night of a 3 day weekend) currently i pay $150 which gives me the chance to sell the occasional photo for profit. smugmug announced that when i renew my new price will be $250 a year. a 66% increase. My subscription just renewed so i dont have to pay the new rate for close to a year.
but that doesnt matter. there are other services out there. Im testing out zenfolio right now. i just started a 2 week trial. Im in the process of transfering my images to them automatically. Ill let people here know how it works.
if it goes smoothly ill stop uploading to smugmug and start uploading to zenfolio instead. and when my year is up ill cancel smugmug.

They way they announced the price hike and teh amount of teh hike reminds me of netflix shootign themselves in the foot last year.
