5 Star Rating on iStockphoto!

I was ELATED yesterday when I saw that "Exclusive Photographer", Aleksandar Georgiev, rated my photo with 5 stars. The man's pix are AMAZING & he is currently in the top Most Popular Images [http://www.istockphoto.com/most_popular.php] on iStockphoto!! I really appreciate his rating.

Am planning an outing this weekend to work on getting more images to submit. Will post any interesting snippets I collect on the journey.

A Million Miles Deep

With the new year, have really put my nose to the grindstone & started to investigate on-line options to expand the biz. My motto "Go a Million miles deep, not a Million miles wide" -- a.k.a. really making a target FOCUS! (pardon the pun...)

It's been interesting making the transition into Stock Photography. Started with sifting thru my images from the past to see what would make the cut... After submitting 15 images, and having less than half be accepted, am learning quickly how to examine things like focus standards, lighting, and artifacting.

Here is one that happily made the cut & is now available for purchase. http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup/animals/birds/8341085-bathing-birds-near-st-marks.php?id=8341085

This may seem like a small stepping stone for some, but for me it's one that lends hopefulness for the future! Photo on, Rock Star!

It's all about the first 5 images...

Crazy of all crazy... re-applied to 1000 Markets again. This time used my Kiss the Photographer brand & submit only 5 images. Seems they like photos after all. (Silly me.) None the less, it's another platform to see from.

If you haven't heard of them, they are fairly new in the market. You can check them out thru my link:

Intend to publish & sell more of my mat & framed pieces. But for right now, am uploading a dozen or so prints available in 5 x 7's & 8 x 12's.

Let me know what you think!
