i sell my photos, therefore i am a photographer.
Hi. My name is Lori and I am a photographer. I sell photographs on a stock photo site – fotolia. This is a link to the gallery of my photographs.
I haven’t uploaded any new photos in a couple of years; the ones that are in my current gallery were taken before I knew very much about taking pictures. I’d delete some of them now. There’s nothing spectacular about them, but what’s so confusing to me is that 91 people have paid for this image:
It’s a fine picture of red leaves, but (1) photos of red leaves are a dime a dozen and extremely easy to find, (2) for free. I don’t know why 91 people paid for this.
I use stockphoto sites when I’m trying to find images to use on jackets of the books I am publishing, so maybe it’s just people like me, people doing their work and needing a quick and simple resource.
Anyway, I guess this makes me a photographer. After my excessive rumination below, I guess this nagging issue is taken care of. 
Yes, you definitely ARE a photographer ! I love your picture.
I buy pictures on Fotolia everyday for my professional website and maybe one day I’ll buy one of yours…
.-= On her own blog, Kty just said ..More than ever Red addict… =-.
oh, that’s so nice of you to say! the images on fotolia tend to be much better than istock, in my opinion.
and i love the red kick you’re on – rouge, rouge, rouge, almost always the right color.
have a great weekend kty!
