Travel is one of the most difficult area to make a living, even recovering investment can test ones ability. Try to write articles that the pictures will illustrate and submit complete projects to smaller regional publications, AAA mags, newspaper travel sections, regional magazines. The one important thing to remember is that you must restrict your sales to editorial useage or you must obtain releases from the people or property you are recording. One resourse to explore is Ron Engh his website and his books. They contain much needed information for openning the door to stock sales. Also the Photographer's Market and Writer's Market. Good luck, Steven Alexander
