Been pretty lucky this year photographically, got around 50 keepers (quite a bit for me) and am ending the year actually selling a photo- something that's not occurred in some ten years (not that I still try). Got picked up from my Flickr pool (first time) by a small indie publisher, and am actually getting paid. Of course, the money no way equaled the amount of time I spent rescanning and reediting a hi-res version of the damn thing with it's unforgiving sky and lighting; but to actually get published in print again- almost kinda makes you feel like... a photographer!

Nice going Stan.
Thanks, Noah- even though I really had nothing to do with it. I think if I actively tried to sell my work, I would have sold another two prints this year (and probably for less money).
Honestly, it was cut throat when I was "growing up," don't even want to imagine what it's like today. And the voluntary Getty licensing agreement w/Flickr to sell your work is as vile as it gets.
Congrats buddy!
Thanks, Eric! Truth is, it's such a random, fluke occurrence, I can't take it all that seriously. And thank god for that- I'd be one sad sack of shit if I did...
