My Latest Risk - Submitting my Work

At work, I'm such a Type A person. I'm always selling - my company's software, my skills, and on behalf of my customer TO my company. You would think I would commit to my photography the same way. The fact is, I've always seen it as a hobby - a way for me to capture beautiful things. This blog is the second step for me - the first was setting up my Flickr account a few years ago.

Getty Images makes a Call to Artists announcement every quarter on Flickr. I decided to treat this like an RFP and respond. So, I submitted 12 images. Here's what I chose for this round:

Getty focuses on stock images, but with a twist. Their submissions site features a huge variety of pictures. I think mine are on par with a lot of these. Maybe something will come of it, maybe not. I can always submit again in a few months! Doing this will really force me to elevate my game, anyway - and try to take even better and better pictures. I'm really looking forward to getting back out there and adding to my collection!

Until tomorrow!
