So – I’ve been a very bad photog blogger.

I’ve committed the worst of sins -  not updated the blog in far too long.

Mea Culpa – Mea Culpa.

I’m not a profesional blogger – and life just got busy over the last few months.

A few status updates:

  • my goal of getting accepted into Shutterstock – so far no-go.   I was rejected in December/January and have yet to reapply.  I promised myself I’d put together a new stack of solid images before I resubmitted.
  • my goal of taking more pictures – failed miserably.  I know.. I know.  Terrible.
  • goal of hitting 100/mth total in profit – not even close yet.
  • Still working towards 100 photos at each site

My immediate goal will be to carve out time to take pictures and hit the 100 photo mark at each site.

That is a fairly attainable goal and should realistically result in 50-100/month in profits total.

That’s all the negative talk aside -  on to the positive.

I’m very encouraged of late – in the last 2 weeks I’ve had 10 sales or so from the various agencies.

With as little effort as I’ve been able to put into microstock in the last month I’m really happy to see photos selling and it encourages me to put more time into the effort.   Not sure if others share the same inspirations but recently Istockphoto sent one of their weekly mailings that included their top weekly shots.   Every time I get one I look at it and think ‘ I can take those pictures’.    In some way that usually helps me to go out there and try.
