Title: Stock industry philosophy
Post by: click_click on August 21, 2010, 12:00
I stumbled upon a thread on Alamy because of Novel Use sales despite being opted-out. Anyhoo, a photographer posted a message that I want to quote here.

I won't take credit for it and I don't want to hurt or harm anyone. I just want everyone on this forum to be able to read it. If this is against TOS please remove this thread or ban me forever take your pick.

This might not be mind-blowing to some but it kind of opened my eyes (a little more). What do you think?

I have several of them.

Of course, they're all mine.  ;)

Nothing has really changed then....................except those images delivered to consumers screens now cost (following the same reasoning) one millionth of the price of a subscription sale from a micro stock agency. :o

"Framed" magazine pictures on the wall?

I've seen prints I sold thumb-tacked on the wall. I take it as a tribute to the stand-alone beauty of my work.

Except also the same guy goes on the explain how the NU are used  internally in large corporations for presentations etc. The whole analogy is nonsense.
And as a side note you should really get the photogs permission to repost text. It is after all copyrighted.

I removed the quote. I won't quote anymore at all and just re-write the jist of their post to avoid problems in the future.
