^^ Yeah, and they want all that for a dollar.
Models that goodlooking don't work cheaply.

You don't really need to find a beautiful face, just look for a model with a sixpack: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_13?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=shifter%20romance&sprefix=shifter+roman%2Caps%2C241

Honestly; preikestolen has been done from all angles and then some. Kjeragbolten is a little bit better, but Trolltunga is much more in demand, since it is less accessible. If he goes up there, I would also try to get some shots in the old factory town of Odda. And Rosendal is fantastic, especially in spring. Several songs have been written about the fruit trees in Hardanger.

In Stavanger, I would look to the sea, that is what the locals do. It is the oil capitol; he should be able to get some good industry shots, the oil museum might be a good start. There are ferry boats and high speed passenger boats going to all directions from Stavanger, one of them all the way to Bergen. Would definitely recommend doing that.

Kvits�y is a tiny municipality a short ferry trip from Stavanger, places like that are full of photo opportunities. 

Honestly, I've only been in Stavanger city once, and really didn't care for the town. As you might have guessed, I prefer the fjords further to the north.

My husband had a job as a software engineer at a company once. They never got around to fixing the billing system properly, just added quick fixes. After a couple of years it was so buggy that my husband had to spend 28 hours every end of month going through and correcting the numbers manually. If he didn't do that, no bills were sent. No one else had any clue what to do. He complained monthly, but the bosses said there were no time or money to do decent repairs.
When he quit, they kept paying him full salary for more than a year to do these 28 hours/month, while they hired 4-5 people to make a brand new billing system on the side.

I think something similar is happening with the PP-payouts. The person who knows what to do has quit, fallen ill, or died. Or maybe he just took a vacation. If he gets back to work, we will get our money. If he died, it will probably take a year or so before we get anything.

Mainly northern Europe and the "Scandinavian" parts of USA, otherwise scattered around the globe. I have one picture of a Norwegian garden that almost only sells in India.

I got an email today that I'll recieve the money via Paypal within the next 5 days.

Thank you!

How can I see whether I have files in the free section? I think I have remembered to check the box for no every time, but sometimes it resets to yes, and I might have missed one of those.

@scottbraut: I wish Shutterstock would give us the opportunity to opt in or out on an image basis. About 10 % of my pictures are of children, and I can't (and won't) opt those in. But the other 90 % of the portfolio would not be a problem.

I made in total 0,19% (32 cents) more in February than in January. The distribution between the agencies had much larger variation.

Mine stopped at the 22th today. Is IS having a break, or is the answer that my sales stopped that date? I hope the first is true, because I'm one sale short of payout.

I opted out, but would have liked to decide on an image to image basis. Also, the type of use is very important. I couldn't care less if my face was used in an ad for a weird political party in southern Mongolia, but a local left wing party is not OK.

Thanks for the tip! Alamy has a very cumbersome uploading process, but I should put them higher on the priority list, since their RPI is one of the best for me.
