No, it’s not what you think. I’m not Chicken Little screaming about the end of the world and the sky falling down. Let’s start again:
How do stock photographers know we’re approaching the end of the year?
We start getting photo want lists filled with names of people we’ve never heard of, except for the few names that we have heard of. Then it dawns on us, slowly at first, but then with more certainty. We realize the few names we recognize all died over the course of the last year. Ah-Ha! We must be getting close to the last week in December when the news media outlets publish their annual “Tribute to those we lost…” columns.
Keep your name off those lists Gary. 🙂
