Sometimes it is a check but mostly it's with accreditation to the photo and a copy of the book or magazine. Actually the city of Tacoma is the one that paid me for use.<br />I'd never give out my SS# even though it's already been compromised by an IRS scam.<br />We sell our art here in town but never end up paying taxes as the individual amounts received don't ever reach that threshold. <br />For me it's just as fun to see my work being use.David Bryan Gilmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08954058198438593014noreply@blogger.com
