• I'm A New Junior Photographer

  I've submitted photos for sale to 3 web sites.  I've been off work 2 days with an eye infection.

    I was rejected by one photo sight.  (I'm making myself SIC HAHAHAHA)  limited to 10 submissions a month,  all ten were rejected.

  Another has about 13 on review pending approval or rejected and one has 26, 8 of which have been accepted.   

  They sure are picky and I need to get a better camera.  Most of my BEST VERY BEST shots are TOO SMALL! and you must submit the original.

  I have to get up 10 good shots to submit to the first sight in a month,  they pay well,  the others pay smidgen but getting stock photos and name out there is very cool..

  So far,  these photos are on the web,  by me,  owned and sold royalty free to purchasers of stock photography.  I'm surprised some were accepted...  I hope some sell.  Someone just might need a fish or a budda for the company brochure!  It's cheaper than hiring a photographer these days and this is pretty much how it's done.

  Other than that I have a bad headache, up one side of my neck and down the front of my face bisecting the left eye and just about carving a quarter off of the side of my head, nervending wise. 

  Here are the big 8;  and it took me half the day to find and submit these, along with about 75 others out of my damn 4000 + photos.  No face photos without release forms and many of my favorite good photos are of strangers and their children.  You can't sell those unless they have "editorial" value,  meaning something newsworthy....

  Well, those are the photos for sell.   I'm surprised they accepted the budda one but I hope someone buys a large print of it for $79,  or perhaps thirty cents if they download it or soemthing... i still don't know what i'm doing,   only they are copyrighted.

  I said I wanted money for the De La Vega shots, and I haven't heard from the girl again.  I hope that means they are talking about it.
  I have had some training in photography,  eons ago before digital cameras were invented, I think...  but other than that, and a lot of practice and an artistic mother,  much is the light, my eye and a moment of luck captured.

  Everybody's got SOMTHING to sell,  right???
