I’ve had my second photograph in 12 months used on a professional travel site. My first for a travel site called Schmap. The picture used was one I took of the Washington Monument on our trip to Washington D.C. after our wedding in 2006.
The latest is for a travel site called ‘Home & Abroad’. The picture is one I took this past summer of The Stone Pony. The thing I find most fascinating is that I never submit my pictures to sites for submission. In both cases this year, the site’s admins have contacted me and asked for permission to use my pictures. The same was true back in 2006 when CNN contacted me about using one of my flood pictures.
I’ve always liked photography, but just considered it a hobby. It’s cool when you get recognized for something that you enjoy doing.
