I have been a photographer for the past 12 years. Once I was able to convince my wife to let me buy an SLR, I was off and running. I have shot one wedding and one office party, but mainly have shot for my own enjoyment. I tried submitting to some of the ******** agencies back in the day but had very little experience and even less guidance.

My enthusiasm came and went for photography and my cameras sat on the shelf for long periods of time. I would get the bug, go out and shoot, and eventually they would find their way back to the shelf. It was fun taking pictures, but with no real purpose or goal, it was easy to lose interest.

Everyone would always tell me I should sell my pictures. I would smile and thank them but I didn't want to go through the hassle. I had a full-time job and 3 kids at home and didn't have time to go out and 'sell'. Since my previous experience with stock agencies hadn't panned out, I didn't think I had a chance. Then I started searching online recently and found there were many more options for getting my pictures marketed. I thought, 'what the heck' and submitted a few photos.

And the rest is history...
