Well done

its probably a staggering number. SS always outpaced my iStock by 5 or 6 to one. Just imagine his SS account vs. his iStock which probably has a ton more photos (don't have time to look)

Amazing!

I wonder how many sales he would have if he wasn't restricted by upload limits.

I wonder how much more money istock would of made if they scrapped the upload limits for all at diamond level? I still can't believe they restrict the best in the business then resort to cutting commissions, they have made a massive mistake.

Yep, but downloads have been on the down-slide at SS since then.

Post by: Zerkalo on November 24, 2010, 07:51: Mr. Arcurs, can you have some holiday or take some time off, so that we can also sell some pictures? :)

You definitely deserved it in the end.

Lise has a pink perfume bottle: http://www.istockphoto.com/lisegagne (http://www.istockphoto.com/lisegagne)

Well, the alt for that is "This incredible istock Exclusive Artist", so I'm not surprised.

Congrats on hitting the number anyways.
