OK, I need an agent!

I've been taking nature photos (mostly underwater) for a number of years, and have a few that I think are quite good, possibly saleable (e.g., http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=68712 ). However, I am so busy with my "day job" that when I have any extra time, I'm off trying to TAKE photos, not researching how to sell them (or even enter them in contests or for publication). In fact, since I don't advertise or promote my work, the few sales of prints on my Smugmug website are mostly to friends, and thus far I have donated all profits to charity. I also produced a calendar of my work last year, but donated all profits from that to charity as well.

Pardon my ignorance if I'm totally off-base here, and I'm not saying I'm any great photographer who deserves major "representation", but...are there people who act as "agents" for people like me? If not, is there some other simple way for me to "get my photos out there" without requiring a lot of my time? :dunno Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated!

While I can't help you with the agents part. I think you're selling yourself a little short. I checked out your website and your photos are AMAZING. The underwater scenes are spectacular. I really enjoyed the bears as well. Not too many here in New England.

Thanks for the kind words, Pete! I'm having a good time trying to get good pictures:ivar; I'm just not sure what to DO with all of 'em!
