Way back in February I mentioned that I’d had a look at Stock Photography. To be honest I’d quickly lost interest in it, and apart from adding a couple of pictures of the summer I hadn’t given it a huge deal of thought.

Yes, if you’re asking, I’ve sold some photos – probably making to the tune of $250 over the year. Hardly rocking my world…

However, gratification comes in many forms and I’ve grown to love showing people my photographs and getting feedback when people like them. I can even cope with the feedback I get when people don’t like them.

I got a new form of gratification today when surfing the local ferry operators site…

Yup. That’s my photo.

This picture has been on sale for a while from the stock sites, and it is quite popular compared to other images I’ve submitted.

But, that’s the first time I’ve ever seen a photograph of mine used on professional site or publication where someone has paid money to do it.

I know it’s a little thing, but it made me smile.
