Now I’m a Published Photographer!

January 15th, 2008 · 2 Comments

[[Welcome to this, the 200th post on kdmurray.net!]]

I got confirmation today that the folks over at Schmapp have selected one of my photos for inclusion in their 2007 Los Angeles travel guide in the “Best of the Beach” section.

The photo is one I took of the Santa Monica pier when we were in LA last fall.

I’m proud to have had a photo selected.  I (and hundreds of others) had our Creative Commons licensed photos found on Flickr and were asked to submit them for consideration.

The original image, and all of the other shots I took on that trip are up in my Flickr account.

      I also was approached by schmapp for my pictures in Nashville. I was a bit cautious. But I let them publish it anyway.

      We get no cash in the deal?

      @Chris: No cash in the deal for us. I decided to allow it for a couple of reasons:
      1 - The photo is already publicly viewable on my Flickr page
      2 - The site only displays a small thumbnail and then links to my Flickr page
      3 - Maybe someone else will see it and I will get a chance for a paid gig. :mrgreen:
