Remember I mentioned fotolibra before?
http://www.fotolibra.com/
I thought that this might be of interest to people here, and may actually get you published!
No, I haven't had any of my pictures published
So I can't speak from experience about the payment/selection process.
I've got no interest in this, other than knowing that the US bias of these photo requirements might well be satisfied by members here.
Of course if you register at fotolibra you'll get these picture calls direct...

Here’s another rather unusual request, but one that may be of interest to our aviation aficionados.
Our picture library partner in Russia is looking for images taken at the NBAA – the National Business Aviation Association exhibition – for one of their clients. This is an annual event in the USA, and pictures are needed from previous shows as well as the one taking place in Orlando, Florida between the 17th and 19th October this year.

Wanted: a photograph of the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor.
It needs to be taken from quite a way away, with a large expanse of sea in the foreground, so the statue and Liberty Island sit at the top of the vertical image.
It’s needed for a book jacket by a paperback publisher.

As this is a live Picture Call it's best not to mark your images as Royalty Free, because if your picture sells, you are likely to earn less money.
