Woo hoo! I sold 2 photographs this week!
I have an online stock photo agent, mainly for the prestige I get when I say I'm a published photographer and the ability to write stuff off on my taxes. It certainly isn't for the money (stock $ is a joke at best - any potential income is made on reselling the same photo hundreds of times, which I currently am not popular enough to do)! I sell a few photos a year for very little cash, but it makes me happy. This is the first time I've sold two in one week and when I went to check my history, I noticed a previously sold photo wasn't bought for the usual web-sale I originally thought (they buy the lowest resolution to use on websites), but someone actually purchased an Extended RF License for my very first photograph that I took back in 1997! That photos has been published in 3 photography anthologies so far and the current stock use of an RF license means someone buys the original resolution and can actually put it on items for resale. So I'm excited - people actually like my work enough to pay for it!
If anyone is curious, my stock library is located here: http://www.fotolia.com/p/126252
**I found where one of my images was used! www.mbs-yoga.com - It's the white flowers in the "Wellness" button. If I find any more, I'll post them too.
