Day One : Project Published : Seven Days

So, day one - I need to sit [...or stand, freaks!] and work out who my target audience is : I guess generically you would have "your market" so, if you were a sports photog, you would go after a newspaper or a sports magazine, if you were a travel photog, a travel magazine / website - etc. Well, for this exercise, I'm after "anything I can get" ...So, I started over on the Reuters news website - wouldn't THAT be awesome! Anyone can submit a "news worthy" photo to Reuters via email to : pics@reuters.com : So, well, that's great but doesn't satisfy my "Immediate need" - I will follow that up though. So, I did a Google search for some travel magazines, I decided upon two...

www.thetravelmagazine.net
www.wanderlust.co.uk

I emailed them with a couple of photos from recent trips, and a small blurb about me.

This is a bad time to be doing this, it would be SO much better to send them a link to my website - but - it's currently being re-developed!... Soon my precious, sooon...

I also decided upon two music magazines to contact... Aiming high, NME! and the music section of Time Out is quite good, so I emailed them a little "hello" as well...

So, day one - some feelers out there, Day Two will be the same... I am going to have a bit more of a research tonight and see what else I can come up with.

Another thing that shouldn't be afraid to do is see if any of your contacts have contacts - this is called, wait for it!... NETWORKING!... so, yeah, I'm going to speak to a few and see if they have any directions for me / contacts : you never know until you ask.

Maybe I could contact a skiing magazine?
