An editor from a trade magazine e-mailed me last week. She wanted to use a snapshot that I had posted last year. I thanked her for the courtesy of asking, because, if the publication just copied (stole) the photo, it was unlikely that I would have found out about it. I sent the editor a couple of higher-res files, in return for a photographer’s credit and a hard copy of the magazine when it comes out. The person who keeps the books in our family says I should have held out for big money (what are we talking about here….$25?).
Once you turn pro, all the fun goes out of it.
