I Am A Child

*nine9nine9:iconnine9nine9: reports, 16h 31m ago
My little girl is so magical. With a smile she can brighten my world. The glow in her eyes when she tells one of her stories melts away all of the day's problems and concerns. For me, having a child and being able to participate in her life, watch her grow and absorb the wonders of the world, completes me as a human being.

For my latest journal feature I am presenting a visual essay on children -- works by DA artists that beg to ask the question, "Is there anything more pure, more magical than a child?" Breaking up the photos are lyrics from Neil Young's brilliant song about children, "I Am A Child." If you want to listen to Neil's song while viewing the essay, right click on [link]

Please fave and comment on works you like -- it is the least we can do to honor the efforts of these amazing artists!

How To Sell Your Photographs Online

~roguewolf19:iconroguewolf19: reports, January 24, 2007
It is now easier than ever to sell your pictures online, regardless of whether you are a professional photographer, or an everyday person armed with your camera-phone. In fact, the latter is increasingly desirable in the fast-paced, wait-for-no-man world of news content.
Citizen journalists have already set about redefining how news is published, and where it is sourced from. Just as traditional journalism has slipped from the hands of an elite few, and into the hands of the many, thanks to the empowering, networked nature of the Internet, now the same is happening in the world of news photography.

The news industry has an insatiable appetite for fresh material, and if you happen to snap an exclusive image using your mobile phone's camera, it could well earn you a tidy profit. News agencies, publishers and broadcasters are all tapping into the power the millions of people out there on the scene, armed with their ultra-mobile camera-phones. Their pictures are often rare gems which no amount of pro-photographers or press crews could have gotten by being sent on the news spot after the fact.

Dispatching a photographer to the scene takes time, and in the world of news, immediacy and getting an exclusive scoop are everything. If there are already people right where you need them, taking snaps of celebrities, disasters, freak weather and police car chases, it makes sense to use what they have to offer.

But how do news publishers track these citizen journalists down, and how do the citizen journalists themselves monetize their exclusive photographs?

How can you sell your photos online without having to reach out and contact all of your local major media outlets?

A range of online services offer solutions to this problem, and in this mini-guide, I talk you through the features that each has to offer. To find out how also you can start making money by selling your photos online while using only your mobile camera phone and some street smarts.

Buyer-Seller Relationship: Buyers can either browse the Citizen Image database, or else directly request images via the assignment board. In both cases, Citizen Image serves as an intermediary between buyer and seller.



Image gallery: Images can be searched directly from the Citizen Image frontpage, and random, categorized images can be displayed within the broad fields of 'creative', 'travel and daily life', 'sports and entertainment' and 'news'.



Your Share of the profits: 50 / 50. Anything you sell or license via the service is split down the middle, and you receive 50% of the proceeds.



Terms and licensing: Newsworthy images are licensed to Citizen Image on 3 month exclusive terms, meaning that these images cannot be published (on or offline) or sold elsewhere for the duration of this time.



Uploading: Images can be uploaded directly to the members area of the Citizen Image site, via your browser, or else you can send them in using MMS from your camera phone. Time critical images can be emailed directly to newsalert@citizenimage.com.



There are in depth details about the requirements of your images, including the image format and resolutions required.



Overall: Citizen Image offers a very well rounded experience for both buyers and sellers. By making their needs, requirements and terms detailed and explicit, there is little room for confusion, which cannot be said for some of the other services working in this expanding field.


Overall, there is a much greater air of professionalism about the service than several others, and along with Scoopt the service stands out as one that might appeal to both professional photographers looking to get involved in new ways of selling their images, and the camera-phone toting citizen journalists rising up from the Web 2.0 landscape.

What does it actually mean to sell a picture?
I mean, I'm not selling a print, I'm selling the picture, but not exclusively?

Could someone please elaborate on what it actually means? (besides money in the pocket.)

I have never really published a news article and wasn't sure how to best effectively use all the functions nor what code I could use.

I wish I could edit this some more to add some stuff that I left out.

I thought the summary would go into the article aswell, it's a large part of the introduction that explains the rest of the content.

But thanks for making it shorter =P

I didn't exactly know how much you could or could not stick in the summary.

It means that you can sell the rights to the picture to someone else giving them use of it in their blog/ezine/publication.

In today's Web 2.0 enviroment user content saves companies a lot of money. Many online publishers has now seen the light and instead of having 3-4 photographers on retainer they just pay the millions of people across the world for the use of the photo's they need.

This does create the dilemma of how to access the mass amount of photo's out there. The sites above are sites that are there specifically for the publishers to contact the users. Think YouTube were you can make money from your uploads.

I hope this helps. :thumbsup:

To give more insight into this I am copy pasteing one of my above comments here too.
