What's really frustrating is when people request something and then go on vacation straight after. How on earth can i get them to test the results if they're not here? Why didn't they wait until they got back to put in the request? I'm sitting here with 5 different things that either need testing or need a consult with someone and none of them are ( Read more... )

It's never really been a bad-luck day for me, historically, not that i really am superstitious in that way. (Other ways, yes!) Remember this photo, the one i sold last year? The cheque arrived today! :)))) 100 lovely dollars. I think i'll probably have to take it to the bank to cash it/deposit it, mainly because I'm pretty sure it's in US dollars ( Read more... )

Further to my post yesterday about what to charge for a photo, I did a bit of googling and the project they're doing a book for seems to be a company that has a program to help children who are struggling to learn to read. IT's called a Leveled Literacy Intervention Program. I found a website and they publish little books. I figure this is what ( Read more... )

I've got a request for a photo and this time, they are asking how much i would charge for it. It's for a book on museums. I have no idea what to ask. Anyone think $100 is too much? I'm going to ask for a copy of the book if possible because i love museums and if they say yes, maybe i should charge less? I don't want to say which one because I don't ( Read more... )

Someone else on my LJ flist posts occaisionally about his photos being bought or used for things. I've not been paid for use of a photo yet but as i mentioned the other day, one is now in a textbook. I have had an email this morning that someone doing a thesis in Manchester wants to use this photo as it contains drawings in the mural of two ( Read more... )

I have had this photo published in the book, Earth: An Introduction to Physical Geology, Third Canadian Edition. It is a text book and selling, in paperback for 127 dollars yet they were only willing to credit me for the photo. Oh well, i did it anyway. They did send me a copy :) I picked it up today. They found my photo on Flickr and contacted me ( Read more... )

A little taste of spring for you. I saw this outside a flower shop on Granville street on my way back from the bank. It was a really sunny day though not overly warm but spring is definitely in the air. Tomorrow i need to pick up some things i ordered from the Sears Catalogue and i need to get some groceries ( Read more... )

Out and about today took Mom and I to the new Seafront Market, first. It's in an old warehouse on the south end of the waterfront. This area has been rejuvenated in recent years. The Pier 21 museum is here, telling the history of the immigration to Canada for much of the 20th century though Pier 21 in Halifax. There is now a venu that is often ( Read more... )
