last april, when stock photo giant daiichicolour/oriental touch acquired more than 800 of my slides, i officially became part of the international photo market. i was quite excited. but apparently, it's no small feat to digitize 800-plus 35mm slides, and so i had to wait a while until i could see my photos show up at the daiichicolour website. since april, I've been checking daiichicolour.com and othk.com regularly, but still no photos.

then, last monday, five months to the day i submitted my first batch of photos, i finally saw what i had long waited for. not all of my images have been uploaded; only most of my "island" photographs are online (there are still my "mountain" and "city" collections to go). but it feels good to see them. last tuesday evening, maggie simpliciano, managing director of daiichicolour here in the philippines (whom I now look up to as a mentor), sent me this message: "congratulations, jeryc! welcome to the daiichi family! hope we do good business!" yup, here's hoping, indeed.

Critiqued

about a month ago, inspired by national geographic and magnum photographer david alan harvey's comments about my photos last june, i sent david another message, this time asking for a full critique of my work. today, i found his reply in my email. my knees are still shaking...

jeryc...

first of all you are a fine travel photographer...and this seems to be how you make your living and i would imagine you are successful with this...your pictures have a great sense of place....you are able to put people in locations that show both lifestyle and location, which is the mark of a good travel photographer...

i just do not know what you might want to do besides travel photography....to satisfy your clients, you are doing a fine job....but, i would like to see you take this a step further and be a little more "personal"...

i always enjoy your comments on the blog...i hope you are shooting something for our "assignment".....if so, go close...get involved...be yourself...really yourself.....do not think of me as a client...now is the time to really show what you can do...if you do, your "clients" will get better...the very best magazines would appreciate this very "personality" that i so described above...

cheers, david
