OM content nil, though I could mention we use a Zuiko 50/3.5 macro on the copy
stand in the office. Because I own one of these, I get asked all the time.
For photographers in North America who are starting out, I do my best to
introduce a couple of basic books on the industry. (For example, you need to
know that only a tiny few agencies "buy" photos; we are in the business of
representing photos owned by photographers.)
Here are three titles that will get you talking the language of the trade:
SELL AND RESELL YOUR PHOTOS, by Rohn Engh, Writer's Digest Books, 4th edition,
1997.
1998 PHOTOGRAPHER'S MARKET, edited by Michael Willins, Writer's Digest Books.
ASMP PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS PRACTICES IN PHOTOGRAPHY, The American Society of
Media Photographers, Allworth Press, 1997 (order at 1-800-289-0963;
distributed in the US and Canada by Writer's Digest Books).
As can be seen, all are available from Writer's Digest Books and can be
ordered from your North American bookseller. There are several other good
titles, such as the ones by Michal Heron.
