I dont believe in this burnout syndrome!  what we see in micro-stock is exactly what happened in the traditional stock-agency world they've been going since the beginning of the 70's they got a good 15-20 years and then its sort of levels out. Someone pointed out at SS for example out of all the members some 95% had ports of less then 1000 files. I can believe that actually and Thats the people that keep the agencies going. Not quality but quantity.

I would go as far as to say that todays stock-industry may it be the big Getty or SS its all about quantity a boring numbers game thats all. So yes as far as quality its just slowly burning out.
The waxed faced and colgate smiling life-stylers models still reign supreme as far as selling power but how much fun is that to shoot?

In the Brittish large journal "campaign" which turns itself to every art director and ad-agency in the world in their June or July issue cant remember really the listed the three top stock-agencies they worked with for higher-end content was Blend, SPL, Trevellion, Rondaninni etc. None of the what I call quantity-agencies in our right column here was even mentioned. :)

For me i love making money and knowing that my images are used and published all over the world.

That's one of the reason why I use microstock only as parking for second choice shoot: publish everywhere and you don't know where, and ever without signature

Burnout is hardly unique to this pursuit if you spend 12 hrs a day 6 days a week on anything you will run out of steam.
