[Photography] – w00t! Image sale!

w00t!

Some guy in France just licensed one of my images for a post card!

In case anyone is wondering, he’s doing a small run of 250 post cards. I licensed the image – which had already sold 2 copies at an art show – for $0.10 per use. My art’s audience are impulse-buyers, and in this economy discretionary spendings is quite low. For the profit margin that a post card can generate, $0.10 per post card seems reasonable. Now I can say I’m a published photographer. (Hah).

Besides, the image had already been released into creative commons under BY-CC-ND anyway, so it has, IMHO, little commercial value. And it was really cool that he asked, instead of ripping the image off on Flickr.

Here’s the image in question:

Space Needle and Pacific Science Center

It’s already the screen background for some local Mac developer :-)
