Getting paid for doing something you love is pretty cool!

I have been using Exposure Manager dot com as my repository for photos for several years. They have a very nice thingie bopper that allows you to set up a gallery of photos for sale.
Well, my friend, DaGoddess, talked me into entering a contest and in doing that, I saw one of the sponsors, Photoshelter.com. So I checked out their web site, and they are a seller of stock photos as well as selling space for pics. Well, I thought maybe some of my pictures might be good enough for their collection, so I submitted 9 photos.

They accepted one! Not the one I thought they would like, but a super closeup of a wasp - go figure!

So now they will market it, and I have the rights to submit more photos to them. Yay! Since they liked the wasp, I went out today and took pictures of more insects. See if those are any good.

I hope I can make some money with my photography, I'm not doing so great with the farmer's market and vegetables - our weather has totally sucked! Rain, rain, rain and more rain. Punctuated by incredibly humid hot days. Ugh.

Anyway, I'm thrilled.
