Good $ but I am not celebrating my first sale of the year just yet as I recently had a refund on a comparable sale of the same image. I hope this one sticks!

Hahahah I just have to say I understand this all too well. Someone I no longer take pics with would have no idea what I was turning my camera on but then slide up beside me, occasionally push me aside, shoot what he thought was the same image (often missing the point), and then go "A REAL photographer is always looking for something to shoot." Even now any time I share an interesting shot, particularly if it's something rare, he tries to find out exactly when and where I took it. 🤫

What a great shot!!!!!

Nice end(?) to a dry spell! It was taken during a sit-in in Toronto that I covered last summer.

Terrible. No sales, again. I have had one $3 sale since December, when I was doing ok before. Zooms were way up so this is weird. 🙁

A different kind of rut beyond creativity: my zooms are way up but I have had only one single $3 sale since the end of December, when things weren't terrible before. I know some agencies will shake up the algorithms or otherwise effectively turn accounts "off" for one reason or other, but this is just weird since, given the increase in zooms, my images are being seen. Between that and ongoing travel restrictions... very discouraging. Especially since I just bought a new camera! 😩

Given the new scheme combined with the fact that my sales tanked from decent to nothing for months, I guess I'd better start rationing the instant noodles.

Yes. Part travel restrictions, part being increasingly stuck in front of a computer unable to go out, and part that my old haunts for nature photography have been completely overrun by people who discovered the great outdoors the moment they were told to stay home. Plus although I have a job covering live events, there aren't many even if I could step away from the computer more.

Finishing off the month with a nice one!

Been offline for several days. This was nice to come back to!

My second one this month. I was pleased to see it move given how unreasonably excited I was when a gust of wind unfurled the flag and I was just able to snap the shot I envisioned when I saw these two. It was taken at an anti-pipeline protest outside the Ontario Legislative Building during the "Shut Down Canada" movement earlier this year.
