Folks,
I've been doing stock on and off since 2006, learning my way as I go. Always wish I had more time to dedicate to it, but having a young growing family has its blessing & demands. I just wanted to say a big thank you to Leaf and some of the regulars here, as without this site and some of the regular commentary I would not only be in the dark of the many shifts and changes in the stock industry, but it makes a person feel like that they are not alone on this journey. Often times I am reading/lurking here more than anything else because there would be little ones falling asleep on my shoulder (thankful for ipads), or late nights warming a bottle, but I hope to be more active in the future. I almost envision it like we are all small ships at sea in a vast ocean. Unable to alter the tides and choose the weather, yet sail along the winds on our own efforts. Occasionally within shouting distance you hear a friends voice on the wind warning of a coming wave (Google Docs, commission changes, etc). Thanks to all of you out there that warn of waves and rough seas.
Your new, yet old friend.

thanks for the nice post 33ft. I feel I'm in a pretty similar situation :)

Reassuring. A person who knows how to use his words in this way can really influence others. I really pictured the scene. Thank you.

Ha!, too kind. Maybe it best describes how I see it since it has always felt like a lonely road. I'm sure there are other microstockers in North Texas, guess I just have never ran into them. Most photographers I know in this area are always chasing down the next wedding or portrait gig. Nothing wrong about that, but so thankful stock has allowed me to not have to chase...
