Selling Your Travel Photos to the Tabloids |
Picture it. You're on vacation, contentedly minding your own business. Suddenly, you turn and realize you're sitting at the table next to Nicole Kidman. Or maybe you look up from your beach towel just as Cameron Diaz plunges into the waves with her surfboard in tow. And like any self-respecting celebrity-obsessed, tabloid-reading traveler, you do what travelers do best: you whip out the camera. You snap away like a paparazzo beside a red carpet.
Do that, as a recent Wall Street Journal story The Rise of the 'Citizen Paparazzi' points out, and you're likely to end up with more than some shots to dangle in front of your envious friends. These days, you could end up cold, hard cash. Read the article to find out how travelers are selling their vacation pics to companies who thrive on celebrity photography. Not that we needed the WSJ to tell us that regular citizens are the new celebrity photogs of the day, but the newspaper tends to say everything so much better than everyone else....
