Hi there,
I haven't been much here, but I wanted to share that I licensed an image that the buyer - a local company doing a book project for a corporate client - found in Flickr. And this may lead to another image being licensed, as I have an old image (1940s, taken by my father) that may suit their needs and wasn't online.
I am very pleased, and even surprised as this was a very ordinary image of a building in downtown Rio. I'm glad I have Flickr! :)

That's great to hear. I often hear of people having their images licensed after being found on Flickr. No such luck for me yet, I often have people asking me on Flickr if they can use my images for free. ::)

Maria, are you "just" ticking the box that you allow the images to be licensed through Getty or did you make it into the Getty Flickr collection?
Also, and most importantly, do you upload the images straight or do you add a watermark for your Flickr stuff?

It was a surprise, also because this is a very ordinary image. It appears however in the second row of results in Google Images if one searches for this specific building.
Direct licensing, no Getty - I have'nt even thought about this, do they required exclusivity or any other ties?. My images in Flickr are relatively small (750 to 900 pix max) and watermarked.
They agreed in the negotiations for the second image, what is great. I'm happy I have offered it, and it is a joy and pride to have one of my father's images perpetuated in a book. I'm happier with that than with my own image.
