1000th sale! posted on 11th of march, 2010

Fellow DT'ers... I'm celebrating my 1000th sale. By many standards, my progress has been slow... a bit over 3 years.

But - for all of you that are just getting start, I share this advice: keep taking great pictures. Persistence is a great method for refining your skills.

Here's the photo that made the 1000th sale.... its a photo that I was never sure would even be approved and almost didn't submit. Wouldn't that have been a pity. To date it has racked up 44 sales.

Let that be a lesson too... I know the pressure to preserve one's approval rate - but don't be afraid to take a chance on a photo. It might just become your best-seller.

	Great! - posted by Exit_nume on September 22, 2011
	Thanks to each of you for your kind wishes. I am glad we share the sentiment that it is good to sometimes take risks with our photos... best wishes to each of you. - posted by Davidwattsjr on March 12, 2010
	That's a great achievement, congratulations! I can understand why you thought the photo in your blog might not be approved - I often get rejections because of lack of DOF. And yet it's a great shot, a great seller and a good reminder, as you are saying, that it worth taking some risks. - posted by Rosedarc on March 11, 2010

	Congratulations, thanks for your great advice! :) - posted by Edithfrincu on March 11, 2010
	First of all, congratulations!!! And secondly, thank you for sharing that story! Taking chances is a big part of being a stock photographer, and if we worry too much about our approval rating, we won't submit photos, we won't learn from our mistakes, and we will never improve. I can only hope that one day I can celebrate 1000 sales too. :-) You have given me hope. :-) - posted by Katn1999 on March 11, 2010
