I’ve been holding off on saying anything about this just in case something fell through, but since I got the check in the mail today, I figure it’s worth letting the cat out of the bag…
…the freakin’ New Yorker just purchased one of my photos to use in an ‘advertorial’ for the MGM Grand casino for $250!
The photo will be part of a spread in the Nov. 27th issue of the magazine.
Too cool!
“It’s De-Lovely” by Williams, Robbie from the album De-Lovely (2004, 4:40).
WOW! That’s tremendous!’
Note it took all of 8 minutes from your posting to mine. (Bill’s out of town!)
Michael – that’s AWESOME!!! Though I’m not surprised – your pictures are fabulous!
Way cool, Mike!!! Congratulations.
Damn! Congrats! That beats the hell out of the 15 pounds I got paid for my photo that got published in a book!
Brilliant news – well done!
Nice! Congrats to you. Did you negotiate them sending your 10 copies of the magazine for your portfolio? ;)

Great Zarquon. Now I’m really behind schedule. :)
do you know how they found your photo? do you retain any rights, or do they want them all?

That’s crazy! Congrats.
Just two days ago, I was listening to an NPR show called “Fresh Air,” and the person interviewed was a freelance writer who had something published in “The New Yorker.”
It hit me: “Wow!!! My firstborn is now a freelance photographer for ‘The New Yorker.'”
I am very proud of both my sons.
Wow ! That’s great. I almost missed this, could this be the start of something big?
How did they find your photo?
And when you find out which issue its published in let me know so I can buy it.
Congratulations! That picture is gorgeous.
