erniemas Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Hello, I've just joined Alamy as a place to upload historic photos of notable people and events from the 70s and 80s. I was a news photographer in northeast Ohio, US, back then. I uploaded a few dozen on Dec. 4, but cannot find them as of today. Is there a delay in the process? Or perhaps that I'm a new contributor the initial uploads need review? My image manager indicates they are indeed for sale, albeit with low discoverability.

MizBrown Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Stuff at Alamy has been strange lately. The engineers are working on the problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Just be patient. They would usually be showing by now but there was some maintenance and the site is not behaving normally. Paulette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alamy Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Hi Erniemas, Welcome to Alamy! I just wanted to add that we normally update our website with new images once every 24 hours. We had scheduled in some important maintenance work to improve our site which meant the release of new images have been delayed over the last few days. It's all updating now and you should be able to see your images on sale shortly. All the best, Alamy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Ernie Mastroianni Be sure to select at least a few supertags for each image. I am finding your images in search.

Cheers, Ernie Mastroianni Ernie, In my opinion and from my own experience, Alamy is like a really long freight train. I.E. it is not really good at reacting quickly, but it does keep moving. During the last couple of months it has seen some "rough track." I am really jealous of your photo of Ellsberg. Welcome to Alamy, I remember when they told me to mail a CD to London in 2003 or 4, I just laughed and forgot about Alamy for a year. I will say that I'm glad I did not forget about Alamy for too long and I've been very happy contributing for the last 15+ years. Question, are you working from original film?

It looks like your photos have great historical value and I hope you do well here. I have been doing something similar with my negatives recently so that's why I took interest in your recent upload. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erniemas Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 Thanks for the replies, everyone. To answer Chuck Nacke's question, my archival submissions are scans from film, mostly Tri-X. Ernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
