How to Fund Your Adventures With Travel Photography

Stockholm, Sweden's chic riverside capital, has to be one of my favorite places to visit as a photographer. Built on 14 islands connected by 57 bridges, each neighborhood possesses its own charm and distinct character. Boulevard Strandvägen in Östermalm, Stockholm Sweden. Copyright © 2011 Marianne A.

Campolongo For all you foodies and travel lovers, here’s a guest post by my daughter, who has taken a trip through time and memory without leaving her kitchen. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did – I’m sure you will. Some of you know her as a mathematician and an actress. She is also a fine writer and an awesome

Fun with iPhone iPad and iPod Cases

As a photographer I love to see my clients use my photos - whether they appear in print in books, magazines or newspapers, on the web, or hanging on someone's wall. In addition to travel and editorial photos, I design a lot of backgrounds, such this blue one at right, an unretouched photo I took using my lensbaby and a macro filter. Other backgrounds are more complex. I'll start by

Is This Travel Photography?

2012-06-06T13:07:00.003-04:00

I'm often surprised at where my stock photos show up. A few years ago when my daughter was young, she wanted to attend the Show Biz Expo in Manhattan. I had just started experimenting with stock photography and had heard about Shutterstock's On the Red Carpet program, where they help you get a press pass to events in return for the exclusive right to license the images you take for two years.

Mapping The Places I've Been: You Should Try It!

2011-02-08T11:09:00.003-05:00

Since this is a travel blog, or at least since it started out that way, it seemed like I ought to add this map that shows all the places I've visited (well over 200!) and a few I've pegged for future travel. Glacier National Park, Montana Burano, a beautiful island near Venice. I found the interactive map on tripadvisor. com. It's a fun way to spend half an hour revisiting your favorite

More Time Travel - History Pin

2011-01-17T18:22:00.002-05:00

As you know from my Time Travel post, I love old photos and I love historical fiction, so when I came across a rather old tweet from Ellen Boughn @ellenboughn "Imagine being an author of historical novels with this very cool tool," I had to check it out. People all across the globe sharing their old photos - a really cool concept.Check it out and don't miss the video that explains the

Holidays are big sellers. I've licensed this photo and other similar ones from this shoot more than two dozen times this week on various microstock websites. Also licensed a lot of the 2011 backgrounds. This one popped up as recent download on Dreamstime.com (you can find it here) and I've got several different ones on Shutterstock.com (my biggest sellers) and Fotalia.com too. Next year I'll

Pitching Travel Articles & Photos to Magazines in the UK and the US (Print is not dead)

2010-11-29T17:56:00.000-05:00

A Swedish pal from one of the photo forums that I subscribe to was asking about how to find English-language magazines for an article that she wrote about surfing in Ireland. A fellow photographer wrote back with links to a book with markets in the UK. It's funny, I never think of pitching articles to other English-speaking countries and this got me to realize that such an effort makes

Mississippi Bayou, 1939. Photo by Marion Post Wolcott. Makes me think of Tom Sawyer & Huck Finn. All photos in this post were taken by photographers commissioned by the Farm Services Administration or the Office of War Information. Since this blog is about travel photography, I thought that traveling back in time to look at photos taken by photographers

A Lawyer Who Makes His Living Selling Travel Stock Photos

2010-04-20T05:08:00.002-04:00

Just read an article in microstock diaries about an Australian lawyer who gave up his law practice a few years ago to travel around the world shooting travel photographs - a dream for many. It was of particular interest as I left the practice of law here in the states some time ago to spend more time with my daughter, first working as a freelance writer and eventually as a freelance writer and

Turn your vacation photos into fun and funky postcards

2010-04-15T14:38:00.017-04:00

Continuing with the California theme this month, here are some of my vacation photos that I turned into fun and funky illustrations. I often spend hours using Photoshop and the various filters from Nik Software that I use in Nikon Capture NX2 to make my photos into illustrations but the other day I discovered a quick way to add photo effects and some fun extras in no time flat thanks to
