Is it my imagination (and it could be) or did the cutoff for PayPal used to be on Monday? I requested a payout on the 10th and it's still pending...

I'm having a great month (money-wise!) starting on the 7th at IS. I wonder if this is a result of buyers using up their credits so that they can stop using IS altogether. Any thoughts?

I've uploaded some new files via FTP the same as always, but now, hours later, they are still not showing in the "Waiting to be submitted" area. Anyone else having trouble?

Greetings!
My name is Joe and my wife's name is Pamela, we live and work as wine sellers(wholesale/retail) in England and China and will be relocating to the State of New York, USA on the 12th of October,2010.
I came across your contact information on the internet after a search for a professional photographer and I hereby write to request if you will be available to offer 4hours of photographic services for the celebration of our 5th wedding anniversary on our arrival to the States. Myself,my wife,my lovely daughter-Debbie and about 12 family members and friends will be present.
Could you please provide answers to these questions if you are interested in this offer
1)Will you be available to provide this service on any date between October 15th and 20th? if so what precise date will be fine for you so as to include this in our plan?
2)What is your address location in New York so as to estimate how close you are to us ?
Should you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me on my phone no: It lists a phone number and address in London. I am afraid to respond to the email if it is some kind of weird thing. Also the email was not addressed to me but had the same to and from addresses which immediately seems suspicious. Has anyone else gotten anything like this before? Does anyone know how I could verify the phone number or address in London to see if this is real or not?

When I look at my stats, I see 1 more sale than when viewing details. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I can't seem to find that other sale anywhere!
P.S. I've looked for multiple sales, prints, extended lic., royalty delay and so on and still can't find that other sale!

I was contacted by a friend of mine that owns a large furniture store locally. He knows that I know my way around a camera a bit and wanted to set up a studio in his warehouse to photograph his furniture for his website. He saw a competitor's website where all of the furniture was isolated on white and wants that look as well.
I met with him today to see how much space was available and other logistics. What we came up with was the following:
1 - I will put together a "shopping list" for him including lights, camera, construction materials, etc.
2 - I will be on location while the electrician installs lighting to ensure proper placement
3 - I will be on location while the carpenter installs the curve between the wall and the floor
4 - I will mark out on the floor where tripod will be located and rough locations for furniture during shooting
5 - I will go to his location to set up the camera and create a small training manual (camera settings mostly)
6 - I will go to his location to train one or more of his employees to take the photos in the completed studio
After that, my job is finished. What would you guys charge for something like that? He asked me for a number, but I didn't want to jump the gun, so to speak.
TIA for your input!

I ran across this article and wondered if it applies to stock video creators. Should I be scared? I've been itching to get into video a bit since I got the 5D Mark II.

Well, it's the first of the month. Here are my earnings percentages for February. IS was helped out by a rare EL. That was my 5th EL since I started there in 2004.

Does anyone besides me think that it's strange that this week's featured photographer only has 259 images at DT? How do they choose the featured photographer anyway?

I found this link explaining how to upload vectors to each site. http://www.microstockgroup.com/knowledgebase/doku.php?id=vector I do not however understand dreamstime. It says to upload a jpg first, then an eps file. When do you upload the eps file? After the jpg gets approved or after the jpg shows up in the unfinnished section( I am using ftp to upload)? Also fotolia it says svg file. What is that? I am only familiar with the eps file. Finally I would like to say it has been very frustrating trying to learn how to upload vectors to the different sites. Some of them tell you exactly what to do and others there is no information! Thank goodness for the microstock group!!!!

I hope that other buyers are not having trouble!

I read about this on SXC and thought that it was a wonderful idea. Perhaps others here would be willing to participate. I'm trying to get set up at a local nursing home. help-portrait.com/

I just got a few photos rejected at DepositPhotos for "Lightning". The poor English is really starting to turn me off and I bet buyers are turned off, too.

What does everyone think about having the choice of where the watermark appears on each of your images on 123RF? While I think it's a good idea, I'm not looking forward to going through my whole portfolio one photo at a time...  See here after you log into 123RF

I'm sure that many of you know that I'm not a big fan of the CV on IS... As a result, I'm VERY careful with keywords there. However, I'd like everyone's input on the following situation:  The image above was rejected by IS for the following keywords: The following keywords used for this file do not appear to be fully relevant to the subject.
{[ Coin Bank (Financial Item), Banking, Business, Finance, Finance, Investment, Savings (Financial Item), Investment (Finance), Isolated (Cut Out), Retirement, Retirement]} I've already used my 3 scout requests (all files accepted after scout, BTW) for the month.

I was curious if anyone was willing to share what types of photos they get the most extended license sales on. We have only gotten a couple and so I was curious to see if there is a "type" of image that does better than others for the extended license. Thanks in advance for any information.

I was wondering if anyone knew what the highest flash sync speed is on a pro-sumer grade DSLR. I only use strobes, not speedlights, so I'm constrained by the camera sync speed. Unless I'm incorrect and you can use high-speed X-sync with strobes.
If anyone has info regarding any of the above, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Anyone else notice that download stats page is blank? Other commission pages work fine...
