Why Tagging is Good

On April 25, 2009 my family went down to Petco Park to watch the Pittsburgh Pirates play the San Diego Padres. I brought along my D60 since it is a lot more portable than the D700 and started snapping pics. Once I got back home, I uploaded them to FLICKR and tagged them, "San Diego", "Petco Park", blah, blah, blah. Last month I received a Flickr e-mail from http://www.schmap.com, they create maps for iPhones and other handheld devices, informing me that they were considering this photo for inclusion in their Schmap San Diego Eighth Edition. I figured why not, and so today I received an e-mail confirming that my picture was selected and published. I'm Published!!!. So come Monday, July 6, I will tender my resignation from my real, well paying, job and become a full-time photographer... NOT

Check out my sidebar widget which shows what iPhone users will see.

So what did I learn? Be sure to TAG all your photos regardless of how tedious it may be, for one day you might get published like me. :P

That's a Wrap!!!
