It's not just about writing...

We have talked on other discussions about Triond and how I have several (but not a whole lot) of articles published on there. I don't know whether you know that it is not just about writing. They publish photographs too. Since I haven't been writing much lately, so not publishing anything new, I decided to submit a couple of photographs I took recently. They have been published on Triond. You can see them here. http://www.picable.com/Art/Photography/White-Swan.144303 http://www.picable.com/Art/Photography/Yellow-Tulip.144301 I will be submitting an essay soon - a reflection on my family home which my mother just sold after 42 years. Keep an eye out for it!

I publish my pictures there as well. I think that they also take videos and podcasts as well...but since I don't ever publish those things I am not completely certain about that. However, you can increase your earnings with these methods! Plus the more pictures you have up, the more page views all your pictures get!

I have to say that I really like Triond. The editors publish content quickly, and they accept all submissions that have not been previously published online. I have written three articles for them, and as soon as the MCAT is over, I am planning on writing more. I like your photos! Keep up the good work!

Thank you. You know when we were taking the photo of the lone tulip, my husband was taking it and he didn't zoom in. He had a picture of the whole barren garden, stem and all. I said, "That's not the way you take a picture of a flower!" and I took that one. When I went to see my mother in her new digs (retirement residence) near the exit there were two photos on the wall of tulip heads, just like that one, a yellow one even. I pointed them out to my husband and said, "See?" I have some really weird pictures my daughter took in the winter time that I'm not sure whether I should submit or not. My darling husband had left the hose on. Our faucet sprays so even though your hose (trigger) isn't spewing water, water is coming out of the faucet. Our wheel barrow and hose got covered in water and froze. My younger daughter took some pictures. One of them is really weird, it looks like a nest of insect eggs or something. Just don't know whether to submit it to Triond. Thanks for your support.

I just stopped by Triond to take a look at your photographs. I studied photography many years ago with the intention of doing freelance work, but circumstances led me down a different path. Based upon my background in photography, I can say with all honesty that your work is excellent. Now that I'm semi-retired, I have the time to pursue my passion for art, photography, and writing. All of my articles to date have been published on Helium, but I have recently signed up with Triond and am in the process of finishing my first article for them. I will be looking forward to seeing more of your work on their site in the future.

Thank you for your kind words and support. Once you are on Triond be sure to add me as a friend and I will keep an eye out for your work. My sister has been travelling a lot since she retired and she has taken some awesome photos. I have suggested she submit them to travel magazines and such to make a little extra cash but she just shrugs. I would love to be a great photographer but my passion is in writing. Good luck!
