But I have to get in touch with everyone and if they are my personal customers also be nice and charming. I don't feel like doing that. With few exceptions...

The advantage of stock is that I can choose my own peer group and people I want to deal with by deciding what stock themes I want to work with.


Hey!  get an exclusive sole agent!  they will do all the spadework, talk, intro, etc, etc, all of it and in case of commissions or sales you pay em 25%.
In the old days sole agents used to cart around photographers portfolios up to ad-agencies, ADs. Sole agents are normally only for dayrate photographers. THERE IS THE MONEY!  never mind stock.

Interested? well I can give you some names if you so wish. I know severall in UK and in the US.

Ill keep it in mind thank you!

Im thinking of a new direction for my portfolio, especially now that video is coming into it.

But first I must survive the current disaster. I wasnt planning to give up my photo exclusivity this year.

Carlyle group don't care of anything except money, Bush/Ben Laden and Sarkozy are part of us, we know  they sell armament. How can "free" photographers like us can expect anything good from these devils?? They have nothing to do with art, nothing at all. They just want to grab all the money at the cost of killing everything. We are nothing.
The two solutions are making the most possible "buzz" against them and fleeing away from Istock and Getty.
