I am now a freelance photographer for a local magazine

[theantiquetiger]

I inquired to a local rag that covers a lot of events and live music in the area. I asked at the right time. It just so happens he is losing his primary photographer very soon. He asked to see my work, so I sent a link to my Flickr. He was very impressed and told me he will use me. He has a couple other Photogs, and he distributes the assignments all around.

I got a contract. The magazine owns the intellecual property of the image for 30 days after publication, then it goes a back me.

I'm ready for my first assignment!!!!

Congratulations. The timing is what got the foot in the door, but your photos are what sealed it.

I sure have come a long way since that trash I was posting when I first joined the forum. MAN, my stuff was terrible!!!!

Yep... some of it was. But you were so keen. And you listened. And you tried out our ideas... and your own. And you made this happen. Well done!
