Stock Photography

Every month or so, I get requests from places (magazines, companies, etc.) asking my permission to use some of my photos for their publication, powerpoint presentations, or online editions etc. I don't ask for any compensation, but just that they would give me credit if possible. it's nice enough that they ask for permission.

This makes me think about getting into Stock Photography, then I read on the agencies that contract out photographers and usually they require 50-100 samples of work to consider for a review. I haven't counted my "stock" worthy photos yet but I'm guessing I should have at least 50 high quality images. It's just that I just get too lazy to go through my stuff and weed out the stock photos and tagging them with keywords. One day I have to get to it and maybe I'll make some money off of it. But, that is not my priority in life of course, it is to read the Word and teach the Word to God's sheep.

I haven't created a timeline for the Stock Photo issue (there are so many companies out there I can submit to) but at least I have a plan set up for my Wedding Videography business. It will go live by the time of my friend's Kyung's Wedding. Website, business cards, and all.

So, for now, time to read some more stuff and prepare examples and illustrations for my Sunday messages... woot!
