Title: PMA's U.S. Photo Industry 2007:Review and Forecast

The Photo Marketing Association International's report looks very interesting, but perhaps the cover photo provides some of the insight we need into the present/future of the industry?

Does this model look familiar? :)

I simply don't understand Designer which use pictures of Yuris girlfriend,Lise Gagne and her husband,Abu's girlfriend/wife,Hidesy's brunette female model etc. .Nothing wrong with the models or the photos but they are simply that overused you see them all time in the local supermarkt, in the email-spam and all around the net etc.
I thought they are more than 6 Billion people on the world but in microstock they are only a handful.

I'm just happy to see a huge organization like PMA strengthening the validity of microstock in the overall photography community by using an image like that for their study. :)
