Opportunities

Can I just say how much I love the internet? As fun as photography is for me, it is twice as fun because I get to share the images I've captured with others. What I never expected is that anyone would do more than just comment "neat shot" or the like. I think Flickr has really created an amazing opportunity for amateur photographers. In the last few months I have been asked three times for permission to use one of my images in a publication or display of some kind.

The first was this one which was requested for an architecture book about outdoor structures:



Then this one was requested for an art exhibit of fall and winter photos:



Most recently I was asked for permission to use this photo of Descanso Gardens for a guide of Los Angeles:



Here it is in Schmap Los Angeles Fourth Edition (look on the upper right where it is describing Descanso).
