She was an editor in Conveyer Magazine. Sales works in New York City. Her interest in photography began as a teenager, when she began constructing her own cameras from a variety of materials after learning to make a pinhole camera in a class. She continues to build cameras using a variety of media, stating in an interview: "I think I like the idea that cameras are not exclusively commodities; all things possess the potential to become cameras." • Illustration — Sales turned her bedroom into a camera obscura, in which a small hole in one side of a darkened room projects an inverted image of the outside world on its surfaces. Sales holds an MFA from a joint program between Bard College and the International Center of Photography. She also received a BA from Evergreen State College. She teaches classes at the College of Staten Island of the City University of New York, the University of Connecticut, and the International Center of Photography.
