An interesting assortment! BTW if you could let me know who your wife's surgeon is, I'll put him on my 'do not visit' list. I hope she recovers fully.

You were standing within 1/4 mile of where I lived at that time when you took the picture of the Quincy Smelter. Moved to MN this year to be near the kids & grandkids.

I sold another photo. It's of a White Sturgeon taken at the Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey, CA.
It sold for $140.00 (I'll get half), and it's going to be used in a book, with a print run of 5,000 copies. The license is for a period of five years and covers only North America, but they have limited digital rights as well. Note that the image sold was less than full resolution (this is part of what determines the fee for the image, that and how it's going to be used). This sort of sounds like it might a text book or something like that.
Anyway, here's the image:

I sold another image. This time it was a bit unusual as it was reported to have been for personal use, the first time that any of my photos have been list as such. The exact wording was:
'Usage: Personal use, Personal prints, cards and gifts. Non-commercial use only, not for resale.
Media: Non-commercial, one time, personal/home use'
It sold for $22.00, of which I'll get half.
And the image was of the memorial to the 'Night the Music Died', that is the airplane accident which took the lives of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and J.P. Richardson (AKA, 'The Big Bopper'), back in 1959 near Clear Lake, IA.
I can't help but wonder if the image was sold to a family member or that of a friend.
The second image below is one I sold in 2019, another image related to this incident, that is the memorial that was placed at the actual crash site, in the middle of a corn field.
Note that the dates are different on the two memorials, probably because the crash occurred around midnight and the exact time has been debated. Also note that the first memorial is the only one that ever included the name of the pilot.

Sold another picture and this was a bit if an odd one. I just posted it to my stock photo house archive on a whim, but this is the sort of image that does end-up being bought by someone. What it was is a picture of one of the two cakes that they had at my office retirement party back in 2016, after 35+ years with the company and after a 49+ year engineering career. It was nothing special, just a store-bought cake, but like I said, this is the mundane sort of thing that sells, as this sale proves the point. it sold for $20 (I'll get half). And as noted before, I don't get a lot of details about who or where the buyer is located, just that it was licensed for use in a presentation or newsletter.
Anyway, here's the image:

I sold another image, this time of the front of Wall Drug in Wall, South Dakota. I took the photo when my Army buddy, Dennis, and I stopped on our way back from visiting our old classmate Kim, who was in a veterans home near Fargo, North Dakota.
It sold for $50.00 (I'll get half) and was licensed for commercial use on a single website, but it can't be used in an advert.

I sold another picture, but this one is a bit unusual because it was sold for personal use only. Now I've had other images sold with that stipulation, but this one seems odd that it would be wanted for personal usage. This is what was reported by the stock image house: "Personal prints, cards and gifts. Non-commercial use only, not for resale."
Here's the picture, which was sold for $20 (I'll get half). It was taken while we were driving back from Michigan and shows a large turbine blade being transported. The picture was taken outside of Salina, Kansas:

Sold another photo, however, it went for only $3.00, but hey...
It was a shot of the old Club House, now the ROTC Building, at my alma mater, Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Michigan. It was sold for a one-time use (hence the low fee) on a website:

Sold another image, this time, of the Advent Wreath/Candles at our church. The image sold for $55.34 (the stock photo house is an English company so the sales are in British Pounds) of which I'll get half. As for how the image is to be used, the report I got stated that is for a 'single company - multiple use editorial only':
