Re: To Everyone who has been published

[Shaun Canning]

Mine was a story about Mt Buffalo in Victoria for an outdoors/camping 
sort of magazine. I wrote the article and illustrated it as well. Pity I 
don't have more time to write and photograph more as I enjoy the 
combination. I would enjoy it even more if the magazine(s) paid you what 
your contribution(s) are really worth. The mag I contributed too was 
selling 75,000 copies a month at $6.00 a copy, and has huge advertising 
revenue. I got $400.00 for a six page spread with 2,000 words of copy 
and eight photos. The joys of unsolicited freelance material...

That's pretty much when I decided that there had to be an easier (and 
more regular) way to make a living. So I completely stuffed my future 
and got into archaeology...

Cheers

Shaun

What was your first published photograph?

Mine was some b&w work for Prison Ministries in Omaha, taken in maximum
security.
Just something for the brochure.
About the same time I did some for Wayne Alderson & his union/management
seminars.
Again, just something for the brochure.
And, I didn't get paid for either one.
Gotta start somewhere, I guess.
