Sorry to hear PhotoBomb. I waited 4 months too. Has anyone made it yet?
I am disappointed, naturally. But I never actually expected I would get picked.
Im not young and hip, and I have no social media presence to speak of.
Im just not their demographic, and frankly havent been anyones demographic for some time.
Never-the-less I thought I sent them some very good images created just for this submission,
along with some eclectic urban street stuff I thought might get their interest.
I hoped getting in might just spark the creative juices that stock photography seems
to have sucked out of me these past few years.
I understand not being selected but I do think that their process is flawed.
Spending the time to actually upload to the site. And for many submitters
who gave them new / exclusive images it kept them off the market all this time.
(Yes, I know it didnt have to be).
Four months is too long to wait. If they are going to be that selective they should
be by invitation only. Their committee should be browsing the web for the kind of content
they want and invite those artists to join. Opening it up to everybody obviously overwhelms the
selection committee. Not to mention the timing.
Why start the process at the busiest time for the industry?
But regarless they do what they do and Ill do what I do - the work will sell elsewhere.
