I have been a contributor to Getty Images for a number of years and I have sold some stock images here and there, but on Christmas Eve I checked my statement for the month of November and I was shocked to see that one of my images had sold and sold big! I was even more shocked to learn who the client was. None other than Louis Vuitton, Paris! I've been watching to see if I can catch how my image is used, but as yet haven't been able to locate it in the wild. When I do, I'll post it here.
Photo of the Week #10
I hope everyone had a great Christmas, this is the last Photo of the Week of the year. In the fall we took a walk with my stepson and his family for some photographs for a card. This is just a fun shot that I took afterward while my granddaughter was feeding a chickadee for the first time. It was funny because she was so serious about it. After awhile we got her to stand still enough to coax one in for a snack from her hand, she thought that was pretty cool.
Photo of the Week #9
This photograph was made on December 28th, 2010 in Havana. Sometimes you get a photo where you know as soon as you press the shutter that you have something special. The poster in the window of the store is in celebration of 51 years of Fidel Castro's rule since the revolution. The man in the photograph looks anything but happy or celebratory. When I saw this picture, I couldn't get my camera up fast enough, worrying that the man would move and I would miss it. Sometimes, you're just in the right place at the right time.
Photo of the Week #8
As Christmas approaches, we took a drive to Napanee last evening. They have, for the third year, transformed the main street into a show of lights that not many places even attempt. They also have a nice park area along the river where they have several displays depicting Santa and other characters and other Christmas forms. I was very impressed with it. If you live anywhere near Napanee, make sure you get there and stroll the street and take in the colourful displays.
Photo of the Week #7
In 2009 we journeyed to Newfoundland for a few days. What a wonderful place that is! We only explored the western area in and near Gros Morne National Park, but what beauty we found! This image was from near Woody Point.
