I have thin gloves lined with Thinsulate that have the touch-screen-friendly fingers--they keep my hands warm enough and I can still manipulate the controls. I don't shoot in the cold a whole lot, but I've never had any equipment issues.

I always try to include colors in my keywords if it's an important color in the image. I guess I have put monochrome on the few B&W images I've uploaded, but I didn't have anything about a dominant color on the one recent image I could think of that is mostly blue. Just added it

The first thing I thought of reading your post was those mostly solid-color images they have been using on their Twitter feed... what about these? monochrome solid color one color

First calendar sale! Canobie Lake Park, NH

I enjoy shooting food. I don't think I'm an expert by any means--and I don't usually make food that's pretty enough to photograph! I'm always looking for opportunities when I'm out and about. Public markets are some of my favorite places. This is my only food shot that has sold (so far).

Oh, thanks for this. I have always left apostrophes out based on this assumption, so I'm glad for confirmation I did that right--and also glad I don't have to fix my US/USA!

Thanks for your thoughts. I'm a big zero for November so far too.

It was my understanding that if you have "man driving tractor" then you don't need to put "tractor" again by itself. Same with "grilled pork chop"/"pork chop". If I am wrong, then I have a lot of keywording to fix.

Ah, I was trying to do it from the image listing, I guess. Whatever opens when you click on the images on the sales report. That definitely didn't work!

For whatever reason I couldn't do it the usual way (right click to get the image URL). Some people use drag and drop but that didn't work either. I had to download the preview, upload it to Imgur, and use that link.

Magazine, Editorial print and digital use. Up to 1/4 page, inside.One time use only. $$ Boston Public Market

How it goes for me--I select a batch of 50 or so to upload. Sometimes I remember to keep an eye on it, sometimes not. I often find it stalls out in the middle of the upload so only a portion of the photos get in. Then I have to figure out where I left off, select them again, and hope for a better result. The other thing that keeps happening is one or two say "upload error," but when I start a new batch to upload, usually I'm able to upload those just fine.

It's been a slow summer but two $$ sales today from my New Orleans photos, including this one.
