My First Stock Photo Sale!

[cooltouch]

I'm still kinda stoked and I just gotta share. Thanks, by the way, to the forum wise ones for providing feedback regarding my earlier inquiries as to what I should charge for a stock photo. I decided to price the piece reasonably because it is a small publisher, and I wanted the credit.

It will appear in a children's book. Dunno the book title yet, but the publisher's name is on the check, and there will be at least one photo of a green iguana in it (mine!). Actually, I think the books is about green iguanas. We'll see.

The check:



The image:



Image info: taken in 1987, Venice Beach, CA. Fujichrome 100. Canon F-1. Lens was probably a Tamron SP 60-300 f/3.8-5.4. Exposure info -- who knows? Probably 1/1000 at f/5.6 or so.

Sweet!

I still remember the first time I got paid for an article. The funny thing was, it was one of the main assignments of a college class to get four articles published. Got one accepted by a small sports magazine and they sent me a $100 check I didn't expect. Ca-ching!
