|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board My first cover Nick Wright, Photographer, Photo Editor Independence | KS | USA | Posted: 1:40 PM on 01.16.08 ->> I was extremely surprised to find the Jan. 21 issue of Time magazine sporting a photo I sent to the AP back in 2006. http://www.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,20080121,00.html  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

While the cover is great, does Nick get any money for that type of placement? I am thinking that he got nothing or like $10 when he submitted it to AP. And since they grab the rights, he doesn't get any more. But still, its great to see your image on the cover of a national magazine.  This post is:  Informative (2) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Darn it anyway. Still -- and I know this is heretical talk for anyone trying to make a go in this business -- it is great exposure. PDN's blog didn't like it though. http://www.pdnpulse.com/2008/01/photo-op-08-pas.html Thanks for the kind words all.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Don't let my raising the issue of money spoil the moment. Although I do think PDN has a point that in the middle of the 2008 primary election season to use a photo from 2006 does seem a bit odd. But hey, of all the images available, they selected your image.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Pretty impressive that you first cover was a national magazine like TIME. For what its worth, PDN wasn't saying anything bad about your image, they were denigrating TIME for using it for a cover 2 years after it was taken. By the way, how many newsstands did you go to and buy all of the TIME magazines?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
