I've sold prints, and those are real sales, but if it goes through this is my first non-smugmug sale of a photo for advertising purposes :clap

$200-$250 for a 2"x2" image to go in the Seattle Times for a company building a condo overlooking lake union in Seattle. Hopefully that sounds somewhat fair :dunno They're in the 4th of July spirit and they came across my Lake Union fireworks gallery. Apparently they're going for a "how would you like to have front row seats to the fireworks over lake union" kind of approach.

Sweet!

    bah! I knew I should have waited to post this. The pictures were taken from the wrong direction lol3.gif Oh well. The good news is that now I've got ins with a design agency that really likes my photography. So there's a silver lining for sure :D

    Mike,

    Those are amazing pictures! I don't understand what better vantage point they want. headscratch.gif

    Could you take them from the "right" direction next week? The 4th is only a few days away. You take amazing photos and I know that they'd be happy to get the new shots.

    Cheers,
    ~Nandita
