“I think Creative Commons is a huge thing and I

attribute a lot of my success to it,” Krug said.

“Since the beginning I!ve given all my photos

away on the Internet and they!ve been used by

other bloggers and people all along the way

and it!s gotten my name out there. So without

going to photography school, and just

networking with other photographers, and

giving my stuff away with attribution, I!ve got my

name out there, I!ve got a lot of incoming links

to my website…I didn!t realize that I could make

money on photography by giving away as much

as I could, that I could build up a portfolio and

reputation so I could get paid work.”
