Goals
One of my goals is to have 1000 images on file with Corbis (currently I have 417) as soon as possible. This should be a large enough selection to produce a regular part time income.
Using a crude mathematical calculation based on the fact that my editor selects approximately 16% of the images I submit I would have to shoot almost 3700 submittable images to reach my goal. Each photo shoot results in about 15 final images of which only 3 to 5 are sent for editor approval. Therefore I would have to complete 925 individual photo concepts. I probably average about 10 successful concepts a month since there are months where I don't shoot at all and some that are very busy and of course photo shoots that are utter crap. That would mean it would take me almost eight years to reach my goal. That is a very daunting number. I will be 50 years old before I reach that goal at my current rate.
Ugh.
This reminds me I must check my lottery ticket.
