Hi all,
OK, I'll get the boasting out of the way, first: I found out yesterday
that I've had three more of my submissions accepted, and one declined,
for the Pentax Photo Gallery. I'll take those odds! I still have two
of my original submissions pending, and two new ones uploaded since I
got my first rejection. And, in all honesty, I'm somewhat surprised at
my accept/reject rate. I submitted seven shots originally, and was
happy to have one of them accepted, much less four!

Now, on with the brain-picking.
Over the past few weeks, I've attended a lot of political rallies and
appearances by a fairly high profile US Senate candidate who won last
night, and I've taken a whole gang of photos of the guy. I do know that
just about every media outlet in existence gets its political photos
from the wire services. My question is, how does one go about selling
images to the wire services? Is it even worth trying to do so as an
unestablished freelancer, assuming the photos meet whatever standards
they have?
I also have some more "artistic" shots of the candidate and wonder how I
might go about shopping those around. Any help anyone can give me would
be immensely appreciated, as I'm trying to make a little money wherever
I can in hopes of, you know, owning a car again someday.
Thanks in advance for any guidance anyone can give me.
Best,
Walt
