Short version:
My photo appeared in a magazine without my permission.
I asked for some advice at a forum called Rationalia. (thread here (http://rationalia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=33693))
I contacted the publisher, asserting my rights as copyright holder.
Publisher replied with an apology, and asked for an invoice.
I just sent the invoice.
I can expand, but for the moment, I am simply celebrating the fact that I just sent out my first invoice. This event has forced me into the business of photography. In the past, I have remained firmly and resolutely un-professional.

Wonderful news! But what kind of wuss name is "Jacquard Imaging"? Get real! "Cunt Imaging" would better reflect reality - in more ways than one, no?

Hi mate my son earns his living as a photographer and I did mention your problem and he sent me this.
http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x131/goldingeric/Sunset.jpg
So this was the first sunset I captured in 2012. It cost me $6,612 to take this photo.
$12 in gas to go from work to this spot and then home. The camera I took this with cost $2500. The lens was another $1600. The Singh Ray Reverse Neutral Density filter was $210. The Lee Wide-Angle Adapter and Foundation kit was another $200. The Slik Tripod was another $130. The shutter-release was another $60.
When I got home, I uploaded it to a computer that cost me $1200, and then I used Lightroom 3 which I got for $200. I then exported it and tinkered with it in Photoshop which costs about $500.
12+2500+1600+210+200+130+60+1200+200+500= $6,612
So if you’re a magazine, website, corporation, sports team, or advertiser who wishes to use this photo, please don’t come and ask to use it for free, or in exchange for credit or “exposure”. You found my photo so obviously I have “exposure”. You have an advertising budget, and this is what it’s for. You obviously don’t expect your writers to work for free, or your secretary, or your boss. No one is going to publish it for free. Just because the picture is digital doesn’t mean it was free to make.
As someone mentioned, THIS single photo didn’t cost me $6,612, but if you wanted to create it, from scratch, that is what is involved. So I consider it the replacement value if it’s stolen, or how much my lawyer will send you a bill for if it’s found being used without my permission.
If you give your photo away for “credit” then the best possible scenario for you is someone will see your photo, contact you, and ask if they could borrow one of your photos… for credit. Try this… next time you’re at dinner, tell your waiter you’ll tell all your friends how good the service was if he gives you dinner for free.

Congrats on getting compensated! You're a pro now.
I got $100 to act in a social services agency training film once. Autograph line forms to the left.
Gorgeous photo, Pensioner.
