***We may have a break-through folks*** There is a chance that after chatting at length to the newsdesk of a local paper yesterday that they are going to put a small piece and two of my photos in the paper. Now, I wasn't even going to consider using this as ***A breakthrough*** but, now that it's two newspapers that are possibly picking up the "local" story, I may... remains to be seen!
"Let's get out tonight, let's get noticed"
Nobody is going to just happen upon your flickr account and email you with high dollar offers on one of your photos, right? (Well, unless you're my friend Susan!!) So, you have to get out there and get yourself noticed...
Honestly, Probably not. Though, I did get an email back from Will Cheung, Editor of Photography Monthly, this morning [thanks, Will] That partly restored my faith in human kind!.. You need to contact and contact again. Photo editors are very busy people and I guess that a lot of the time unless you have fiftysevenmillion photos on Alamy or some such service you will get overlooked.. Very possibly, so, try and try again...
So, Day three... I've still not heard back from anyone that I contacted on day one or two, so, I will follow up my emails, and, I have a couple more irons to pop into the fire... Taking photos for a target audience, A photo that I think could be used by Thames Water, so, I shoot it, edit it and send it to them... A photo I think could be used by a small flower shop, same again.. etc - All possibilities.
Palermo Touristico?

You're so right. No one is going to stumble onto one of our photos on Flickr and offer a huge sum for it. We gotta go get the offers ourselves, or at least try to.
This project of yours is inspiring. 4 more days to go...
That happened to Suze?! Our Suze? Tell me all about it then!
