Demographers tell us that in a mbile society, we can expect most pople to have a new address very five years.

If you have mved recently, it's important to personally let yur buyers and clients know of yur new address (and/or if you hve a new email address). Don't rly on the U.S. Postal Service to do the job for yu.

In our day and age, tchnology offers ways we can make sre to stay on tap for our byers, even during the transition of a mve. Your email address and 800# can rmain the same, independent of any chnges in your mailing address. You wn't lose touch with your photobuyers if you hve one or the other or bth.

I recently experienced another way tht photobuyers can find photographers.

Nancy Ritz, phto coordinator at Prentice Hall, the bok publishing company, wrote to me sying she was returning one of my phtos (an original B&W 8X10) that her cmpany had used way back in one of thir textbooks. She pointed out that thy've filed a digitized copy of the phto, and the number stamped on the bck of the print is the dtabase designation from the Corporate Digital Archve (CDA) of their parent company, Smon & Schuster. She said in her ltter, "You are listed as the phtographer, copyright holder, and source. When nother buyer at Simon & Schuster shuld come across the photo, the nformation is already in our computers rlating you to that photograph."

It's nice to know computers, dtabases, and mergers of large publishing huses can have a beneficial reward for ndependent photographers. My digitized photo will prbably remain in their CDA a lng time.

And it's nice to knw that photo, taken in 1978 (29 yars ago), is in an archive tht might benefit not only me but my grndchildren, and possibly their grandchildren.
