i recently photographed the santa barbara film fest through shutterstock's on the red carpet program. one of them made it to the NY Post (newspaper), which shutterstock kindly let me know. :-)

Cool.  thanks for posting.  I've been reading about the Red Carpet program.  Do you use it often?  Does it obligate all your images?

Got my first book cover with an image from Bigstock, one of my first when I started about 2 years ago......The guy forgot to credit it for me but he had Liz at BS get a hold of me to let me know and apologized for not crediting me. I'll probably buy since it appears to be my kind of reading.........hard copy out a little later.

That would be a great marketing thing! We are so good that even our competitors use our work!

only 10 per event are obligatory, but they'd like to see as many as you have. nevertheless, your images become theirs exclusively for 2 years, irregardless of whether you upload them or not. i'd use your own contact whenever possible rather than the Red Carpet program, even if they are a great team to work with.

Thanks AP.  That was the answer I was looking for.  I'll stick with what I know.

For those that have a famous "Welcome to Las Vegas Sign" photo in their portfolio I recently saw a deck of playing cards for sale in a Safeway grocery store with that image on them ...

I tried to determine who the image belong to but there are just too many of this particular type of photo on the major sites. If you have an EL on this type of image you might want to checkout the card decks at a Safeway.

I am still looking for my first tear sheet

Yes the Taiwanese have money, certainly if you see how they drive

Mantonino,

Thanks but not me    There is a well know photographer and artist in Australia by the name of Mark Payne. His name has come up quite a bit in my Google searches ...

My "girly notebook on grass" used in the banner of a website, and many sites that link to them:

http://www.notebookingpages.com/index.php?page=Link-to-Us

I have under 30 images in the combined stock world I believe, and so I don't really look for them used anywhere.

One day I log into the internal page of an institute I'm affiliated with (Broad), and ....

Actually, it was probably from shutterstock where it sold very well (by my standards), but anyway...

Needless to say, I went ecstatic...

I was just playing around finding some tear sheets for some upcoming marketing for my stock stuff and I thought I'd share some of my fun finds including: BHPhoto, Compusa/TigerDirect, The National Reporter and a book cover featuring our daughter!

For a moment I was puzzled by seeing you calling a peacock your daughter.

LOL  Yeah you may have wanted to get me some professional help then.

Getting a book cover is really rewarding...I received an EL from StockXpert for this one last year. The publisher sent me a copy and they credited me on the copyright page. The Author also uses the image on his web site...pretty cool.

One of my underwater shark images showed up on the United Nations environmental page:

Also, just saw one of my HDR Madison, Wisconsin skyline images on a local car dealership's commercial this morning

Just found our bear on Animal Planet.

Today I found my very first tear sheet  !

I randomly clicked on an advertisement for "Seattle 1-Day coupons" for a link on Facebook which I thought would be a cool link to ad to a Facebook group that I had recently formed. The link later asked me to click on a city. I then clicked on Seattle. I was brought to the following page.

My image is the Seattle Skyline with Mt. Rainier and the Space Needle. I do realize this is a popular vantage point but the image is definitely mine as the haze and slivers of buildings match up precisely ...

I am positive it is yours (here is unobstructed view of their picture https://a248.e.akamai.net/si.lscdn.net/system/uploads/7afd0ce8-acfa-e650-824f-7b5e0e92be55/autoscale-original.jpg), but not sure which copy (it seems you have 2 of them on at least one big site)

Thanks for the confirmation UncleGene ! This was such a blind luck random find

This German Site 'Dancing World' is using a lot of stock images.
this PDF page has a list of photographers (at least 250)
http://www.dancing-world.de/Fotografen.pdf

Then browse the site to find yours (there are lots of little rotating slide shows - be patient)
http://www.dancing-world.de/

Some of the names I recognize:
Me
Katrina Brown
Yuri Arcurs
Lev Dolgatsjov
Elenathewise
iofoto
Kurhan
Phil Date
Lisa Young

I can never find my stuff being used anywhere.  I wonder if I'm searching wrong because all I see are my images on the stock sites.  I wonder if I'm searching wrong on google.  I've tried my full name "Anita Potter" and my username in quotes and I don't get anything.  Is there another way of searching or is that it?  I also haven't had any el's so none of my stuff would be in print.

Thanks.

The helmet is my grandson's; the image is mine.  The color of the goggle lens was changed to match the designer's color scheme.  I stumbled across this via a link from a motocross site that I visit dailey.  No idea which agency it came from.  I have it uploaded to several.
