Huh:

Hi there,

I am a designer working with Santander (the bank) on a project in Brooklyn. The project consists of black and white photo's in various sizes within there space. I came across some of your photos on Flickr and I was wondering if you would be open to selling your photos.

We are still in the design stage, so this will only happen if the client accepts your photos but I wanted to get your permission before we even present them. If one is chosen, we would put a photo credit on it as well. A few questions for you are:

1. Can we show your photos to our client?

2. Will you sell us your photo if they chose yours?

3. How much per image?

4. What is the largest pixel size you have available?

Thanks so much!!

Katie

Well, that's awesome.

I don't really understand why but that makes me feel better.

Right? Meghan Markle, still out there living as a human person.

That is awesome, Tom! (Pretty sure the answer to #3 is one meeelion dollars. But if you don't have benchmarks, I know someone who sells a lot of pictures commercially and I could connect you. Her stuff is mostly pictures of flowers for sale at Target or on book covers, but still.)

Neat, Tom!

Not sure I wanna. And if I do want to, I have absolutely no idea what to quote them.

Tom, do you know this blog? [link]

You don't have to, of course. It's neat that they are leading off with "how much money can we give you" though

Also, I still buy Nolo books regularly for my library, and you should see if you can find a copy in yours, maybe: [link]

Also, to state the obvious: You can wait to answer them until you've thought about it, and you can ask questions before you give them an answer.

I was wondering if you would be open to selling your photos.

Foamy!

Watching the hearing, but I am an hour behind. Work keeps interfering.
