Berryspun, they must like you to review your submissions so fast. I have photos that are still waiting for review since November 4th. By the time they actually review mine, the Christmas shots will not be needed for 2006 (but I can always hope buyers will use them in 2007 and onward -  )

Part time for me. I work full-time for a school district in the maintenance and operations branch. I love taking pictures and get a great deal of satisfaction every time someone downloads one of my pictures! I've been doing this since June of this year and have been lucky enough to receive a payout from at least one site each month. Love having a bit of extra spending cash (and a wonderful tax write off).
I also totally agree with Leaf. I love the satisfaction I get from stock photography and the fact I don't have to answer to or please anyone else.

Don't feel bad, Snapshot. I got rejected twice (and was locked out of SS for 3 months each time because that used to be the lock out timeframe) before finally being accepted. However, it was worth the effort. Keep at it. You'll succeed!

Welcome. I've also absorbed a lot of information from these forums in the short time I've been here.

Glad I had a chance to read this thread. I was also wondering why I had a commission of $1.00 today on one photo. The raise is well appreciated!

Congrats. May your next 500 at IStock occur quickly and be very profitable. Same luck with Fotolia.

I use the different folders method which I keep on my desktop. However, as an example of what works for me, I've named folder #1 called CanStockPhoto, FP, StockXpert, LO. The second folder is named CanStockPhoto, FP, StockXpert. The third one CanStockPhoto, FP. The fourth one CanStockPhoto. I put all the new images in folder number one and upload to LuckyOliver (the last initials in the name of the folder). Then I move everything to folder #2. Repeat the process by uploading everything to StockXpert (the last initials in the name of folder #2). Move contents to folder #3 and so on. I put CanStock at the end because of the four listed, they are the only one with upload limits. Therefore, the pictures can continue to sit in the last folder for as long as it takes but it isn't holding up these photos being uploaded elsewhere.
I do upload to several others and have different sets of folders for them following the same guidelines as above. Since IStock has such a small upload limit, this is obviously my last folder in the other grouping.
I also keep the folders currently being uploaded open with the pictures highlighted until the upload is done. Then I immediately move the highlighted pictures to the next folder and close the folder they were removed from.
Sounds confusing but it works for me. Hope this helps.

As Berryspun stated, I've noticed the views numbers have simply stopped moving. How can anyone sell anything if no one is viewing? Views are at 2534 right now and have stayed there for almost a week now. Makes me wonder why they suddenly came to a screeching halt.

I've made a whopping $2.70 on this site and have been on the site about a month. Thank goodness I have a day job! I'm hoping their sales vamp up soon.

Microstockwatcher is a wonderful program. I would love to see it have more stock sites listed. I'd also love to see another column with daily totals!

Thanks for the suggestion, ancientimages. I'm going to resubmit the pic of my son with a model release when I get the chance. As far as the others in the queue, I'll see what happens with them since I'm maxed out on my uploading quota at the moment - lol Thanks again to both of you!

I also find it therapeutic to submit to more than one site for the same reasons. If I only submitted to one or two, boy would I be frustrated. I'm not sure why I got so irritated with CanStock over this. Had they used some other reason for the rejection, I would have just let it go. Thanks for letting me vent.

I can see your point, Berryspun. However, their comment says "even when you can't see their face" This makes me wonder why and makes me feel the reviewer thought the face wasn't recognizable.
I tried to edit one of my pending files of the back of a child's head and I guess once it's pending, you can't add a model release. Oh well, guess I'll wait to see if the pending shots get rejected also.
Thanks again for your opinion, Berryspun.

Here's a cut and paste of the body of the email they sent me (I took out the extra line breaks): Hello Stacy, Unfortunately, your photo entitled "Echo Lake watcher" was not approved for distribution on Can Stock Photo. Reason(s) for rejection: * A model release is required for this photo. A model release is always required whenever there is identifiable faces present in the photo. If possible, please consider obtaining a model release and re-submitting. \n* Comment:all children need model release even when you can\'t see their face, sorry\n If you are able to fix the above problem(s), please feel free to re-submit the photo. Many issues are usually relatively minor and easy to correct. Thank you. - The Can Stock Photo Team http://www.CanStockPhoto.com--------------------------- Refer a new member and make fast cash! Details: http://www.canstockphoto.com/referral.phpHere's a link (hopefully) to the same photo approved on BigStock w/o a model release http://www.bigstockphoto.com/thumbs/2/2/7/medium/722835.jpgThey also disapproved this picture for a lack of model release: http://www.bigstockphoto.com/thumbs/2/1/8/medium/812148.jpgHowever, on this one they didn't make that comment section about all children needing a model release even if face isn't visible. I don't think any face is recognizable in this particular picture. Thanks, Stacy

I haven't been uploading to CanStock for very long but I got a picture rejected today because there wasn't a model release. They said in their email there must be a model release for any minor even if the face isn't visible. What's up with that? My picture that got rejected was the back of my son's head while he's looking out over a lake. Seems kind of strange. I don't know of any other site that requires that.
