Non-marketable photos put to good use

overcast 19 °C

As a stock photographer, I do my best in capturing the best photo to sell, but even the best photo isn't good enough. According the microstock sties, the images have to be 'marketable'.

Although family and friends have and will always be my number one fans, their glorified comments mean nothing to the microstock sites... not 'marketable' pics are normally rejected.

I usually don't have the heart to 'permanently' erase a photo which *I* believe 'tells a story'. So I keep the rejects on a DVD as data files and create artistic imagery... for whatever...

Then an idea finally occurred to me: those 'inspirational quotation' PPT slides or flash movies I receive as attachments (yes, those emails everyone must share and reply or else.... Internet legends ... sheesh!) I can do the same with MY photos. What great way of getting my photographs noticed even more ... right here on the World Wide Web.

You're a good photographer "whilst" you're also teaching - whilst
you're in China.

Good work! And Whistle whilst you work..it's good for you.

I took a few minutes to look at this and loved it except you timed the pics to fast. Need more time to read and appreciate each scene. Can you slow it down so I can take another look???
Love and Blessing
