SnapVillage.com / Re: Corbis layoffs

I just had my first sale at SV. This gives me a handy $3, enough to buy three waffles at lunch today. Ok, so now we know that SV can attract buyer(s). They have a few things going for them. Their uploading process is very fast (although they don’t provide FTP batch uploads), they will keyword for you, you can set your own prices and they are owned by Corbis. This latter fact has baffled me for a while. You’d think they had the resources to shape up their web pages more than they have. They’ll have to step up quite a bit to keep afloat with iStock and the others dominating the game. Good luck to them; now I’ll consider uploading more of my portfolio (at least I would if they had an FTP server, how hard can it be?).

General Macrostock / Re: Photoshelter collection is closing

I had only a few images there, but I still spent a lot of hours on processing, uploading, waiting and, not least, keywording, which was a lengthy process at best. I feel sorry for the substantial amount of people who uploaded hundreds of images, all for nothing. The people at PSC managed to whip up a mass anger at the whole microstock business, in the process convincing an army of photographers that their work was worth as much as that of the pros. The most realistic scenario now is that PhotoShelter will manage to convince the same people that they will make lots of money if they buy storage space at their site. They will probably provide a seamless migration from PSC to the PhotoShelter archives. I’m leaving that site for good.
