I jest.
Actually, I’m just amazed at the power of Flickr sometimes.
I’m not a super-duper photographer. I’m a person who snaps photos. Some of which I have to admit I’m pretty proud of. But I’m in no way trying to earn money or recognition for my photos.
So the fact that I recently received a check for two of my photos from a company was pretty cool. I did a cute little Happy Jump when it arrived in the mail. I deposited the check and went about my life.
Then I get two emails. Within 24 hours. Asking if it’s OK to use my photos. Photos they found on Flickr. One would be used in a brochure. One on a well-known website. I can’t name names at this point, but…hot diggety! It’s just a very nice feeling to have someone say, “Hey, I really liked that photo of blankety-blank and I’d like to know if I could use it in our new brochure.” Um, sure!
So I just had to crow a teeny-tiny bit about it.
You understand, right?
hmm…..this is where a not nice person would say “I told you so!”….I have to practice restraint now.
congrats, lori! you totally deserve it. you have to show me how to use my camera when you come to town!
Yay Lori! That is great news. Like Julie said, I’m curious what pics they are too!
Oh, your photos are definitely that good. I’ve thought long and hard about commissioning you to do some photos of projects in Michigan.
