About the editor/Disclosure
by David Jensen on Nov.09, 2009, under General Info
Hello – My name is David Jensen – just a normal Midwestern guy who has worked hard all my life as a teacher, a salesperson and a manager.
My love for taking and developing photography started more than 35 years ago. What is frustrating to me is that I never followed the love I had for photography, and as a result it took a back seat to all the other ‘corporate’ trappings, and I can honestly say that my heart is much emptier as a result of my path. My wish is that if you love photography that you will not take that same path, and will continue to follow your passion. I know that going forward, I will.
This site is the result of my finding my way back into this rewarding field. Through the many lessons learned, we can all grow. Let’s make this work for all of us. A community of passionate photographers looking to compete in a field that is growing in size, depth, complexity. But as I do at times, don’t get discouraged. NO ONE HAS YOUR POINT OF VIEW. As a result, no one can place a judgement on what you do that has any weight. True, there are composition and lighting “standards”. But many standards posed by microstock sites would eliminate some of the world’s greatest photographers. The difference is “art” and “commercial art”. Most microstock sites are only interested in commercial art. Being rejected from those sites is not rejection of your work. It just doesn’t fit into their “business plan.” Therefore, if you are rejected, don’t be discouraged – go forward – continue to develop what you love to do.
Anyway, I’m glad you came to Selling Photography Online. Obviously this site will deal with much more than “selling”. But in order to continue to do what you love, finding a way to spread your work to the world and find ways to make some cash in the process is certainly our goal here.
Please take the time to sign up for my newsletter. While I’m not sure when it will start to come out, you wouldn’t want to miss the great stuff that is coming up. The signup form is on the right sidebar.
Now go take more photos!
