Back up and running just now. John.

I'm 66 and 3/4s, which sounds old, but I don't feel old! Most bits are still working OK, so not too much problem bending down etc. I too like my own company, although I get on with people, even been married twice and now in a relationship for the last 16 years with a lovely lady. Photography is a very absorbing occupation and I get carried away and don't notice the time! John.

Many thanks to both of you! John.

These 2 sets of images were taken on St. Mary's Island, The Isles Scilly, England in May. The first one was growing wild in a hedgerow next to the road. It was about 6ft - 8ft (2m - 2.5m ) tall. The second was growing in a marsh (almost in water) on a nature reserve. This was about 1ft - 2ft (0.3m - 0.5m) tall. Sorry for the formatting, I tried to post larger images but failed miserably. Hope someone can help. John.

It was a bit 'day-glo', but it was glowing at the end of the day! As you say, a sale, is a sale, is a sale.

I meant the subject was over saturated - but maybe it was the image!! John.

Chuffed that I sold this one today with there being a lot of competition. Don't know what search term they used but various terms range from 9,000 to 41,000 images returned. Distributor for about $20. John.

Yes, ditto.

11 sales for $276 gross, so just below both averages. Best $86, worst $4. 3 of my 4 highest sales this month, including the best, were distributor sales. Views very poor, zooms only a bit better. John.

Out of my last 12 sales only 1 was zoomed. John.

Yes, once discovered you will be updating frequently - like i do!! John.

Same thing aren't they? John.

I had relatively good sales in June and even better in July so should get a bumper payout in September!! John.

Probably too late to the party, but if other people are thinking of photo insurance I can recommend Photoguard. Had a claim last year and the whole process of claiming was very painless and they paid out rapidly. John.

So do you mean you will be paid next month? I have got $98 cleared now, so will get a payment for September. Well done on the big sale! John.
