For the second time on this trip, I have been approached by someone who is interested in a picture of mine that they found on Flickr. Also for the second time, it's not a picture I would have imagined anyone being too interested in. The first was of an iron ore train in Western Australia.
The publication this time is South Eastern Globe, a Cambodian English language magazine that wants a picture of someone changing money into Cambodian Riel taken in Phnom Pen. Et voila...
An almost guaranteed Pulitzer nominee, I'm sure you will agree.I have quoted my 'usual fee' (actually that's not true, I've upped it 10 quid to 65GBP...oooh, cheap at twice the price). If they bite, that would bring earnings within the past 11 months to a princely 120GBP (less PayPal fees). I feel mighty proud.
[As an aside, I wonder how the phenomenon of online hosting of pictures is affecting traditional photo libraries and agencies. Clearly, as has happened twice to me, organisations are looking for a cheap alternative from the general public rather than pay whacking royalty fees to photo agencies. Maybe I should have charged more.]
