I'd like to see some of your work (website designs) before committing to this project.

Again, I'm not really interested in creating or managing this by myself, but I wonder if there is enough interest in this idea among Microstock Group members to make it happen as a coordinated effort, maybe with some sort of community of designers and photographers contributing to the site's creation and maintenance. The idea of this thought exercise being that the best ideas (and wondering if this is one) will eventually percolate long enough and then produce something worthwhile.

If it matters, I'm a freelance designer working by myself and, at age 51, I have no illusions that this can be my big ticket/last hurrah. I'm more interested in the idea and willing to help some. I might even get the courage to submit some of my own photos. Thus far, I have just done some ad hock photography for promotional pieces (mostly for Print) and I'm not confident about their quality or universal appeal.

If you are still interested in some of my web site work, check these recent and not so recent sites out (please be Kind):
http://finepotter.com/ (utilizes Wordpress)
http://www.projectimplicit.net/fpi/ (I created the template and logo, no control over the content or navigation)
http://www.virginia.edu/case/ (created logo, template and information architecture, although things have been altered somewhat since launch)
http://markcollinswatercolors.com/ ( old school web design, but still pretty nice looking, I think)

photoco-op.com is available for $10 for anyone of you microstock photographers who has the balls to stand up and fight for your creative rights. Stop getting screwed by the companies that are in this for themselves and have no respect for the artists.

All you have to do is provide me with a reasonable plan to create a microstock photography co-op web site that the best in the business will want to join. That's it! I'm not looking to make money from this. I'm a graphic and web designer that dabbles in photography, but I use this stuff in my paying gigs and I keep seeing the prices go higher. Don't you want to see more money in your pockets instead of some computer hacks?

Maybe I'm a fool to think this can happen, I don't know. What do you all think?
