If you happen to be in grade 5 and in Alberta you may get to see one of my photos in your social studies text book.
Several months ago I was approached by a company in Canada that wanted to use an image of mine for a school book, “Voices of Canada”. I was a bit surprised.. I didn’t even consider it a good photo.. it was a photo of my beloved Tantramar Marshes, but not one of my favorites. Anyway, they found it on my photography site and wanted to use it. So I scratched my head for a few hours to figure out what to charge. “If I charge too much she won’t buy, too little and and I would be showing how little I know and selling myself short..” After much thought and discussion with a few friends I made an offer and they took it! We just received the cheque last week.
If you see one of the 42,000 copies of this book around, please rip out the page with my photo and send it to me.
So here it is, Early Morning Mist, my first sale.
