The ussual suspects (Which microstock agencies im going to use)

1 Comment

The first step is going to be having a place to make the submissions for my stock photos. I had made the decision some time ago to not go exclusive with istockphoto. So after crawling around the web and looking on different blogs like Microstock Diariesand Nil to Mil I’ve decided to target the following micro-stock agencies.

  • istockphoto
  • shutterstock
  • dreamstime
  • fotolia
  • StockXpert
  • BigStockPhoto

I am already a contributor for istockphoto, so my first goal is to get a contributor account on the remaining 5 agencies. I will be using images from my existing library to apply to those agencies. In all honesty, other than seeing these names thrown around a bit I’m not really all that familiar with any of them so if anyone has a referral code that they want me to use when I sign up please get in touch with me right away as I plan signing up for the agencies starting tonight.

Resurrection of the blog

0 Comments

Hello and welcome.

What better time to turn over and do something new than the beginning of a year. Its a time when you are already looking back on your previous ventures and are looking forward to new ones.

So for 2009 some of the goals for my adventures in photography are.

Stock Photography
I have small achievable goals in mind which I will post about later, but by Dec of 2009 I would like to be at a point where I will be bringing in around 150-200 per month from stock photography sells.

Bettering the Central PA PhotoWalks
I have some ideas to increase the attendance and participation for the photo walks in 2009, I also want to start doing studio photowalks during the colder months, more on these in a future post as well.

Expanding my photography network and presence locally.
I really want to start contributing photographically to the community where I live. This means increasing local business in the form of portrait, wedding and commercial photography for Central PA concentrating on State College and Bellefonte.

So these will be the 3 main topics of this blog over the next year as I find out how this real life choose your own adventure turns out.
