My 2010 March-June compared to 2009 March-June. One thing to keep in mind is that I only uploaded about 150 new images in the past two years. I contribute the majority of this decrease to lack of attention. Some of these companies require you to feed the beast or it will starve... and contentment can be a stock photographer's greatest enemy -or- reward, depending on how your sales compare to last year.

FTA -46.00

SS -674.00

DT -1281.00

IS -645.00

A total of $2646.00 decrease this year over last for those four months. I know this looks like a lot to some of you, and it sort of is, but I am still living quite comfortably. I believe in this business. I am absolutely positive I can make the $2646 back over the next six months. So, that is what I will do.

Early June I started a studio in my house, borrowed back the lights I had given away months earlier, dusted off my camera, and bribed my son to stand in the middle of the room so I could photograph him. After two years of absolutely no interest in shooting, what do you know... I had fun. Yay me!!! If I continue to enjoy it, I will buy some new lights and finish the studio. If I decide I would rather stay retired, you can search eBay for all my studio goodies. (he-he)

Thanks for posting Jamie. This is actually quite encouraging, IMO. If you have hardly uploaded at all in the past couple of years and have only lost a few thousand from your overall yearly income then I think it says there is more longevity in a good portfolio than I had feared.

I certainly can relate to burnout and having real life prevent you from "feeding the beast". Welcome back out of semi-retirement, and glad to hear you are getting your mojo back

Interesting exercise Jaimie. Here are my figures having been uploading fairly constantly and added about 20% to my port over the last year;

SS -120

IS -348

DT -297

FT +1281

It was a total increase of $756 over the previous year but entirely due to FT without which it would have been a huge loss.
