My amazing (unpaid) photography career


Peacock for dinner

The photography career I never knew I had is about to take off. I got an email from schmap.com, a travel guide site, telling me that they're considering using one of the photos I've posted on flickr for their next guide to Salt Lake City. I haven't used flickr much lately and didn't particularly remember putting any pictures of SLC there. But sure enough, I had posted this photo of a peacock at La Caille, a great restaurant just outside of town.

Schmap doesn't pay anyone for the pictures they use, but they do let you opt out if you don't want them to use your photos. Of course, I can't imaging anyone actually paying me to use my photos, so I'd be happy to see them use it. I'll let you know if they do. Meanwhile, I think I'll check out some of their travel guides. Think they'll have one for Helena? Then I could really hook them up with photos.
