Maybe this has already been discussed and I missed it or it was just subtle and I didn't get it.

Why would someone steal credit cards and buy stock photos???  They did 4 of mine of a crashed truck but how are they going to turn all that theft into money in their pockets?  I think I remember reading about someone saying putting all the images on discs and selling them on the streets of China but how is that worth it?  All this effort for what? 

Congrats Magnum on the sale, this thread was really a fun read especially with all the back and forth.

I think the insurance thing is fairly normal.  I have photo business insurance and it covers me for stuff like that.  I think it typically is when you are working in their area or whatever but along the same lines. 

Will you be able to reference them as a client?  That might be useful to depending on what they do.

Congratulations again though!

Hmm, I wonder if Yuri could stop producing images, close up shop and move to Hawaii and retire on his earnings even at a RPI of $3US?  Granted he wouldn't be able to bring everything with him.

You know the funny part...  I always submit a model release.  If there is a human in the picture (hand, arm, leg, whatever) I submit a release.  I figure it's just easier...  But, if I do that with Dreamstime they will reject the same image because I've included a model release.  Kind of weird...

Anyway, cool concept shot, hope it does well when you get it online!

not too sure about that, but there is a pretty attractive deal if you have a canon camera.

adobe photoshop canon deal

this is what i used when i bought photoshop

If you change replace the link catCanon to catNikon it comes up too.  It check's your Elements serial number so just pop it in there to make sure it is "valid" and if everything goes through then buy!  A co-worker of mine put in his Elements serial number using the Nikon link and a few days later he had his full version of photoshop CS2.

Another option - which is almost the same price is the educational discount.  It is a bit more of a pain because you have to sign up for a class - but if can help reduce the cost.  I waited about a year to purchase CS2 and I have been extremely happy since doing it.  For the most part you can do almost everything with elements - but the full version is just amazing.
