• Question of the Day?

  One Photo site has consistently rejected, and continues to reject, ALL of my photographs,  except this ONE.

  WHY THIS FISH PIC?
  
  Other than the size,  and I still don't get it completely,  I'm not sure why, I didn't do anything differently than the other 4000 + pix on my flickr site.  Most of the rejects say "insufficient dimensions" although several just say for 'technical reasons' or "do not fit our buyer's needs".

  Well,  they don't know that I just happened to have these photos all laying around in cyberspace anyway....
  

  

  They have this one for sale,  and all the others went to the "give away free pot",  I allowed it.  I think if people download the free ones a few times, they move them to the 'for sale' pot.  You can opt out of the give away free pile anyway.
  
  did you know that all photographs have an unregistered assumed copyright that is enforceable by law?  and that photos of identifiable  persons cannot be used without a signed release form UNLESS it is an 'editorial' or 'newsworthy' image? That is how celebs get to be photographed and plastered all over and they can't do anything about it,  they are part of the public "eye". 
  
  Something's Fishy about this plastic goldfish photo.
  It's a fine kettle of fish.

  I have a big urge, now,  to set my camera to the largest possible setting and go take intentional for sale photos.  Woo Hoo!!!

  The CULT OF THE AMATUER Andrew Keen was RIGHT!!

  BUT WHO GIVES A SHIT?  ISN"T THAT WHAT AMERICA IS ALL ABOUT???
