This photograph of mine was published in a new book called “Great American
Cities Past and Present,” which was published by Compendium Publishing.
Nope, no Getty either. Selling them entirely on my own. Anyone can do it.

My photograph of a Wall Drug billboard was featured as a two page spread in the book “5 Biggest Marketing Mistakes by Rich Harshaw.
A photograph of mine was used in the production of the documentary Carbon Nation.
Carbon Nation is a documentary film about climate change, which is directed by filmmaker Peter Byck and narrated by Bill Kurtis. I am sure you will recognize Bill’s voice. Byck’s film focuses on the solutions to the possible climate change and the people who bring them to us.

I had my first image published in a Montana magazine. This is the tear
sheet of my image of The Pink Church published in Montana Magazine.
Here is the text below the image:
The Sacred Heart Catholic Church is a beautiful old church located on U.S. Highway 2 east of Harlem on the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation. Known as the pink church, many say the structure is haunted, but one story in particular stands out from all the rest here on the Hi-Line.
Dubious of claims the church was haunted, four men visited to take a closer look. Upon finding the church boarded up and closed to the public, they decided to leave. Before driving away the driver heard two thumps behind him. Thinking his buddies were trying to scare him, the driver exclaimed, “Very funny. Get back in the car. Let’s go.” The man sitting behind the driver said, “Um, we’re already in the care and no one back here made those noises.” Scared, the men quickly drove away. Later, after returning home, the driver inspected his car and was shocked to find two small, child-like hand prints on the rear quarter panel of his car.
I don’t know if the stories about the pink church are true, but I was certainly respectful enough to keep my distance when I took this shot.
This photograph of mine taken at the Dane County Fair in Madison,
Wisconsin will be published in the July 2010 issue of Madison Magazine.
It is still nice to have an image published in my hometown magazine even though I’m 2000 miles away. I’m very grateful for having had the opportunity to photograph for Madison Magazine in the past. Perhaps when I return home I can photograph for them once again.
My image was used on page 46 of the November 30, 2009 edition of Newsweek magazine.
This is precisely the reason I hate Getty Images and much of the stock photography industry. And frankly, any photographer who does business with Getty or any other parasite like Getty is doing themselves and the entire photography industry a huge disfavor.
Why?
For starters, I didn’t even know my photograph was published. Further, I have no record of a transaction with Newsweek or its parent company The Washington Post. And if they purchased this image under the auspices of some other company, I likely received just $10 for its use in a magazine that has a circulation of almost 3 million issues.
I am so happy I broke my contract with Getty. They only suckers worse than those who allow the likes of Getty to rape them are those who give their photographs away for free.
Sorry, I’ll get off of my soap box now.
