A Glimpse and a Hook: Rands gives some great pointers on what he looks for in a resume. “A resume will never define who you are… [it] should be designed to give me a glimpse and a hook.”

The past year has been a decent one for me with respect to my skills as a photographer. I’m confident that I have made strides forward and improved my techniques. Much of that would not have been possible without Katya’s creative collaboration and encouragement; at the risk of sounding cliche, she’s opened my world to see things from all sorts of new perspectives.

I’m thrilled to say that in 2006 I was contacted by several publishers seeking to buy rights to publish some of my photos. This was both a first and a surprise for me, as I’ve never sought that. Keep your eyes peeled for the following:

- A photo I took of Vladimir Lenin’s souped-up Rolls Royce Silver Ghost with snow treads was featured in an article in Russian AvtoMir (CarWorld) Magazine (January 6, 2007 issue).

- The Russian Orthodox Easter Procession (Krestny Khod) photograph that I took from my balcony last April will be published by BullFinch Press in a book on holiday traditions around the world. It will go to press in October, more details to come.

One of my goals for 2007 is to sell a few more photos. Since these photo editors came knocking at my door, I figure that if I set such a goal before me, do some research, and get my photos circulated, I should at least be able to sell more stock photos than in 2006.

Anyone out there have experience or helpful articles on getting started in stock photography as a hobby?
