A Good Week
Periodically I do a little seach to see where my images are being used and who is mentioning me on their website. I do it more to enhance my page rank than to enforce copyright infringement. This morning I stumbled into this use by Ed King, the guitarist from Lynyrd Skynyrd, who wrote the little known songs "Freebird" and "Sweet Home Alabama." I am flattered that he chose my image to announce his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He gave proper credit too so it's all kosher. I was equally happy to see Gary Knight using my photo over on the World Press Photo site too.
Big career developments came back to back this week as well. I found representation on Tuesday with Jen Allison, the same woman who represents Mark Mann and today I signed a three year contract with Retna to resell my music photos. Retna, if you aren't familiar with it, is the largest music stock photo agency in the world and one of the last to split royalties 50-50. All this has me very excited. They are heavyweights and now I'm part of them. Yikes!
I was planning on 2006 being a good year so I'm ahead of schedule.
Take pictures, get paid.
