Goals

2008.09.03

So I set some photography goals for myself this past summer.
Things I wanted to try to accomplish.

One was to get a photo in a magazine... I got very lucky with this shot (on the right) and San Diego Family Magazine wanted to use it in the September issue!

They are also publishing another of my shots in their October issue which really made my day!

Another goal was to submit photos to a stock site and see what happened.
You had to send in test shots first and they would accept you or reject you based on commercial & technical worthiness.

When I got word that I was 'worthy' lol, I submitted a portfolio and was lucky enough to get about 8-10 shots on their site.

It's an interesting process and exciting to see how many times your photos have been purchased.

Lastly, I was really hoping to get just one shot on Photoblog's Front Page... This one made it!
Hooray for that one!

Thanks to all of my friends who visit here and to this Photoblog community. It is unlike any I've ever been a part of and I thoroughly enjoy browsing all of your photos and following you all on your photographic journies!
