You can now buy photos from The Batavian

Some months ago, people started asking me about buying photos on The Batavian, and the number of requests have even increased in the past few weeks.

Awhile back, I got in contact with a company I've worked with before in previous jobs -- it provides a service to newspaper websites allowing readers to buy photos that the newspaper publishes.

It's taken me a lot longer to get things set up than I anticipated, but we are now, finally, able to sell pictures that we publish.

I've already set up galleries of several things we've covered in the past few months, such as Notre Dame's sectional playoff game against Dundee, Town of Batavia Fire Department's Harley Raffle and the Alexander Parade.

There's also a section for barn photos and another of Genesee County shots.

Most of the photo requests, though, have come from parents and grandparents wanting prints of their kids involved in sports. All of the sports photos that are available can be found here. 

All of the galleries can be found here.

Of course, as we cover more events, we'll make more pictures available.

It's gratifying that so many people enjoy the pictures we publish. I hope this new reader service will be of value to the community.
