What's she been up to??

I've been blogging out to this site lately: http://www.1000markets.com/users/kissthephotographer/blog_posts

My latest challenge is for "Social Networking". My goal is to have a Meet-Up.com group called "1-2-3 Launch" within the next few weeks. The group's focus will be to meet & talk about being Entrepreneurs in this market. Have also been working on some curriculum to do training with. Classes to start in April!

Have also been out taking new pix with the Seattle Flickrites group. We went to Seattle Center this weekend. Kids were out there "daring" the fountain to spray them... ha! Am soon up-loading those shots to iStock.com ;-)

Drop a line!

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!
