I thought I’d start writing about things that I learn from or get inspired by on a weekly basis. I collect a huge number of reading materials, both in printed format and online, but it wasn’t till a recent holiday that I was able to catch up with some of that reading. Life gets in…

Photo site has new look
My photography site, which is separate to this blog, has now got a new look. I encourage you to go visit http://photosbykathie.com/ to have a look around. I have quite a few photos listed at stock photo sites now, which are linked at the photography site. And you can purchase prints and cards via my…
Thanks Dad Photo Competition
The national (Australia) Thanks Dad Photo Competition is on. This is the brainchild of 3 men, Chris Hawke, Michael Hawton and Greg Schlieman who have all been involved in men’s welfare issues and who wanted to bring positive images of Australian fathers to the attention of us all. There is so much ‘bad news’ about…
Submitting to Stock Photo Sites VI
Thought I’d give another update. Well, I’ve got some photos that have now sold several times over. So it’s starting to pick up. Time for me to upload more images and keep building my stock. Interesting though, that I heard from yet another stock agency overnight. I’d loaded images to them weeks ago and had…
Celebrate Photography
19th August marks World Photography Day and at the time of writing this post over 1700 photographers have so far registered to participate. Including me! The idea is to photograph your part of the world and share it. Something I do already anyway, hey? 😉 To get involved, register at http://www.worldphotoday.org/ and then tweet it,…
Awesome photos
I look at these photos and realise I have a long way to go yet. This was sent to me last week and I loved their simplicity and beauty. Click on the link and be prepared to enjoy the visuals about to open before your eyes. Amazing stuff!
Submitting to Stock Photos Sites III
Thought I’d report in and let you know how things are going. If you’re into photography have you tried out iSyndica yet? I discovered this week that not all the stock photo sites actually notify you when a sale has been made so imagine my surprise when I logged in yesterday to iSyndica and discovered…
Photos at Lonely Planet
Got an email this morning to say my photo is being used in their mosaic. In fact, when I checked, they’re using two photos – one for Australia and one for the US, both the centre images, i.e. the Puffing Billy on the Trestle Bridge and also the Sea Princess in Glacier Bay.
Submitting to Stock Photo Sites II
Well, the end of my first full week with 85 images submitted to 5 photo sites. Interesting experience. Not all of the photo sites work with the same criteria for photos so while some accepted all, or nearly all images, others would knock them back because they were ‘too snapshotish’ (not sure exactly what they…
Submitting to photo stock sites
I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent researching stock photography sites, reading articles, reading about photo submissions, submitting, creating keywords and choosing categories, getting rejected and waiting for the ‘wait time’ before starting all over again. But I would say the time spent would add up to some weeks of ‘working or awake’…
Professional Sites for Photographers
I’ve been trying out a number of sites with a view to finding one that suits my needs. Ultimately I’d like to be able to offer digital downloads and print copies of photos here in Australia. Redbubble provides the latter but not the former. Snapfish provides products such as mugs but not digital downloads. At…
