A few months ago, I got a Flickr email from someone asking if they could use one of my photographs in Spacing, a magazine devoted to “Understanding Toronto’s Urban Landscape”. I don’t live in Toronto, but my photo was just what they were looking for. After verifying their details and asking some questions, I agreed. There was no payment available but they sent me a copy of the magazine. And that’s how a photo I took ended up here:
To illustrate a story about how fewer kids are walking to school these days, the magazine used a photo I took on the first day of school last September. This is my next door neighbor’s great-grandson, Nathan, and Kaitlyn heading down the sidewalk to the elementary school which is in my neighborhood.
This is the link to the photo on Flickr. Even I can’t believe that I can actually say that I’m a published photographer!

That’s great. It’s nice that they asked you. In my case, I found out that some had used my pictures with my permission.

That is very cool! I was going to say I know just how you feel, because I had one of my photos published in a classroom reader a while back. Only mine was just of some bins at the grocery store. It would be way cooler to have your kids in the picture!
I like to think I would have recognized Kaitlyn in that picture, if I hadn’t been told it was her. That hair! Or maybe it’s that I’ve seen that outfit before.

I’m very impressed that they contacted you first and just didn’t use a picture without your permission! Kudos to them!
And I’m with Anna — I would have recognized Kaitlyn a mile away!
