		<description>Amen to that.  Yes, it&#039;s very flattering when a publication (and a major one at that!) wants to use your photo, but the thrill wears off quickly.  I like Harlan Ellison&#039;s approach: if somebody wants to use your work for free, ask them if they work for free!</description>

		<description>Wow. I&#039;m familiar with people allowing free use of images, but for print publication in Maxim! You know they can pay. It&#039;s not like Rural Wisconsin Farm Journal, circulation 300 :). 

In any case, I think so much of this comes down to courage and confidence. There&#039;s always the fear that if you ask for a certain price, you&#039;ll lose the sale. 

But the fact is that in the cases where someone comes out of the blue and asks you for image, however, you&#039;re on strong footing. One thing about print magazine editors is that they usually have very specific photos in mind for a given story. If they ask you for yours, that means it&#039;s pretty much EXACTLY what they&#039;re looking for. You know they want it. So you&#039;ve got a lot of space to ask for a sale. If you ask a price, and it&#039;s too high, they&#039;ll negotiate.</description>

		<description>A very good read.  One of the best I&#039;ve read on the subject.  Even a small fee is better than nothing.  I have four kids to feed, not an ego.  :)</description>
