Two days later I received an email from the Vice President of Communications at the Aquarium wondering if they could use some of the photos for non-exclusive and non-commercial use with credit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">After payment was agreed upon and all the paperwork was done, I sent off the 4 jpg files to the aquarium. While I can&#8217;t retire on the money I received, I can say the payment for each photo was more than this gentleman received for his <a title=\"Stock photo for Time Magazine\" href=\"http:\/\/open.salon.com\/blog\/future_of_journalism\/2009\/07\/29\/photog_thrilled_to_get_peanuts_from_time\" target=\"_blank\">stock photo that graced the cover of Time Magazine<\/a>.
