I would not be paying full price for a Sony at the moment. Check the news on them. They have experienced a 72% drop in profit. They will be doing almost anything soon to sell something.

what's their reasoning behind rejecting graffiti?

Most places I know it is illegal. Not sure about overseas, but here in Australia it is illegal to make a gain from an illegal activity. Therefore the artist has no right to claim a benefit.

hard to pick it in this. i cannot see anything at full size either

Red Bubble is really a site set up for artists who want to show off their work to other artists. Most the sales come from the contributors. The mob that own it are pretty lazy and are not into marketing their site to buyers.

You will never get rich there.

Yeah but I can kiss the new 5D goodbye. Would have been nice if I could have prepaid for it when the dollar was 98 cents a month ago.

Consolidation is a consequence of business these days. All sectors are in the process. Even biggies like Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton are involved.

Who on MySpace is going to order 10,000 cards?

I like the way these publishers sell things with high end numbers and "potential earnings".

The real issue is how much is the price of the card, and  the return to the photographer. The fee should be 5% of the retail price of the card. Sounds like everyone is getting their chop except the person who made the image.

50mm f1.8 for about $100 (great fun lens)
24-105mm f4 L IS as your stable lens.

(How much did you get for the D200?)

Oh come on, give me a break. I thought your photos were featured, not sitting in a blurred background.

Is this a set? Or have they hired this home? Looks to me as if it was part of the existing decor.

This copyright thing is getting beyond a joke. So what now ... the film producers have to run around and get approval for every isolated object in a set? The cups, the chairs, the vase, the flowers?

One thing I have learned about life is you can be - by your own choice - a victim or an aggressor. Regardless of the situation I always prefer to take the aggressor role.

For instance, I was one of 9 orphaned kids. Some in my family still are bitter and twisted. I prefer the option that I had experienced before my teens life as most people would never understand if they lived to be 200.

In this instance, I would see this image use as a benefit. I would be PROMOTING the fact that I am such a good photographer, Hollywood have chosen ME over most of the professionals. I notice Gregor has some great graphics. I could almost build a business on the use of this one single image in a film.

I agree with Karamala, but I would go further. If I lived in a smaller place I would be off to the local paper to get them to do a story on how a local photographer had his work featured in Hollywood.

Would put it in my resume. Would have the DVD on my website. Build it up.

The trick (used to be, not sure these days) with SS is to always have 2 or 3 photos in the queue.

You seem to make more sales when you have something new just approved. Not sure why, I think there users trawl the latest images.

wicked. gave me some ideas for my old Nikon D1.
