Haha thats funny. Never looked at  it that way.

Have any of you seen this? I wonder what could be only moments away lol.

Plus on their twitter update they mentioned  "Heads up to all contributors, this will be good *wink*"

Anyone know anything about it?

It looks like just recently updated their homepage and you can see that they are beginning to introduce IRIS prominently.

They are more macro then mid.

I guess businessmen are just looking for innovative ways to earn a buck.

Well actually to be fair to 123rf, Moodboard also sells their pictures there.

Cant seem to access the page. Anyone else?

Have you guys read this before? I find it disturbingly true and funny!

Heh, but if everyone thought like that the site can never prove itself worthwhile, now would day

I have just joined the agency and I really like it the best so far! I hope this thread grows so we could all gauge its potential.

There is also Inmagine that has been around a long time. I actually knew about them through their microstock site 123rf

But nonetheless, they have IRIS now which allows photographers to submit photos.

I would say their client database is pretty good so maybe you might want to give it a shot.

That picture really made me Laugh Out Loud!

I agree that its possible in the near future microstock will slowly evolve back to midstock or even perhaps back to macro again? haha.

But I believe that there are buyers out there who are willing to pay money for better looking photos. Its all for the best.

Photographers getting credit for their hard work, and buyers getting satisfaction from great photos!

Stock photography
Can it earn some side income?
Guess not, we shall see.
