My DT story     posted on 1st of september, 2010
I learned that photos and drawings can be sold through the Internet somehow about 8 years ago (I was 17 years old), don't recall any agencies of that time though. I tried my luck in microstock as soon as I managed to buy my first camera (I was 20 at the moment). I don't really remember what's my first agency was but it was not DT, I'm sure. My camera was a very simple and cheap one and photos appeared to be far from good quality, none were accepted. So I gave up and forgot about the idea I liked so much.

I became interested in microstock again when I began to draw (I'm a very late beginner, was about 20 or 21 when started), but a dream remained a dream until all pieces of the puzzle joined together. It took time...

To Gsteve.
Sorry, I've been looking everywhere, but couldn't find the source photo. I remember it to be of a very bad quality, so probably I've deleted if from my computer long time ago.
But I still have the white cat :) and can make a new photo if needed and make a collage with your text then. - posted by Mildegard on February 07, 2012
Hello.
Do you have the original image of the cat that you used for this image 9499366.
That's the cover of a book in Switzerland. But I wanted to put text in French, that's why I need the image. I love your images of pictorial typography, I am passionate about this art, and I've already done a study on this subject.
Thank you. - posted by Gsteve on February 06, 2012

>I'm more an illustrator than a photographer. Sometimes I illustrate stories and poems of my own, but usually I just express my dreams and memories in pictures.
If you buy my illustration or photo, please send me a note (leave a comment to image) of where you use it. It would be wonderful to know where my creations travel :)
