I want to thank you all for your responses.
It was quite helpful in that it gave me perspective as to what I can expect.

I thank you all very much for the insight.


(you'll excuse me now, I have to go back to being cranky)

I have been on 123RF for about 2 months now. I have about 400 images or so on site.
Without really making any comments about myself, I would be extremely interested in
knowing...(getting a feel) about how others are doing there.

I also would like to hear comments from people who refuse or will not upload there.


Are you happy with results you have had?
How long have you been with them?
Does the automatic payment method affect you in any negative way?
Have you noticed cookies in your browser require you to log in after a brief time away?
How does this site compare with some of your favorite sites?

Any input would be appreciated.

Your just a lonely old man.......  It pissed me off ....

OK this your is #6 post to this thread....I hope you got everything off you chest.
I am devastated about how you think of me.

You have said quite a few things about me that are both truth and lies.
I am an old man - TRUTH
Constantly craves attention - TRUTH
Imagined success in microstock (I admittedly suck, I really do) - LIE
I give myself credit. (no reference made to what) - UNDETERMINED

This is unfortunate, but true.
Shutterstock is the wholesale retailer of many images.
Many designers use Shutterstock like a fast food restaurant, while iStock is more like a restaurant where a tie and jacket is required. 

They both serve food though.

Beckyabell This is your 5th reply to this post.
It seems to me that if it rubs you the wrong way that you would just ignore it and move on with your life.
I have just expressed my opinion. And so now 5 times you have let us all know you disagree.

OK I GOT IT! I understood you the first time.

Whats to stumble on? My name is clearly printed as being the author.
I suggest you avoid my posts. That's what I do with certain people.

I can understand why you would not want to read my posts. I am very opinionated.
I express myself in such a way as to make sure I am not mis-understood.
I am very frank, and honest in the way I feel.
I don't lie about my feelings.
I can be very controversial at times.

So, does this mean you want your name off my "Fan List"?

"Shouldnt this kind of constant ranting be posted on Miz-takes?"

Lemme ask you a question:
Why do you torture yourself by reading my post all the time?
Seems to me you enjoy being beat up!

General Stock Discussion / Wanna swap images?
« on: June 27, 2008, 22:57 »
Why not!?
They do it with baseball cards. Is this a viable alternative to taking new images?

I think this concept would only be feasible for photographers who are skilled enough with say photoshop
so that composite images can be formed.

I have my very own stock library from which I draw upon images time and time again to make my concept images.



From a legal point of view, if I relinquish the rights to you there is no problem right?
Some sites require you be the photographer, BUT....I see they allow NASA images.

After giving this some thought this might not be a good idea.
If I use you image and incorporate it into one of my concept images you might have second thoughts.
Nah, this idea aint gonna work.

anybody got any baseball cards they wanna swap?

General Stock Discussion / Are you a photographer or not!?
« on: June 27, 2008, 22:33 »
There appears to be an issue with a few members as what constitutes a photographer.
Some arrogant weenie headed idiots claim you need experience, formal education, training, or be professional.

Well if I employ my life skills od the last 57 years, and I bring them in to bare on this issue.
I can't help using some analogies.

If I am behind the wheel of a car; I AM A DRIVER
If I have a gun, walking thru the woods looking to shoot some game to eat; I AM A HUNTER
If I am pushing a shopping cart thru a supermarket; I AM A SHOPPER
If I'm in a DR's office waiting to be seen; I AM A PATIENT

It's unfortunate that some seem to be very possessive with the term photographer.
They believe it's a title bestowed upon them from the heavens.
Their egos are tremendous and leave little room for others they refer to as "snap-shooters" or "Picture takers".

Watch out for these people. They lurk in the forums, but are totally identifiable.
some terms to watch for:

"Been a pro for Many, many years"
"This is a game for talented people only"
"This business is specialized and only wants the best"
"I'm so good, I even wrote a book"

Why so you can make fun of them?
Don't tell me because your interested in lizards images.
...or that perhaps you want to offer constructive criticism.
I get very suspicious of people with big egos who prey on us little people in microstock.

I think Lizard is well to leave the images unposted.

"Do I need MR for myself?"

You are so ugly a normal model release in your case will not work.
You need a certificate signed and notarized by a certified board member medical examiner.
And then another one from a coroner stating that the person depicted in this image was alive when the image was taken.

Opps...a slip of the fingers on the keyboard.  ;D
I corrected it.

Comon, *! Your far from being original or creative yingyang0.
Please in the future, come up with your own material and stop copying mine.

Now I'm debating whether I should take legal action I just have to confer with a lawyer and find
out if my words; "Opps...a slip of the fingers on the keyboard." can be considered copyrighted.

Basically it appears one or more of the servers that usually serves the route to FT for you is down.
There is nothing FT or your ISP can do about it if this is in fact the case.

If your are not so inclined to provide proof then I am inclined to think your are fibbing.
Until such time proof of download price is verifiable, your claim is and has been rejected!

I am sorry and wish you luck in the future.

And about a month back I had a .10 sale bought with a VERY old credit....


If you can show me a screen shot of the 10 cent image on your IS payment screen, it would help a great deal
in relieving my doubts about what I perceive as a myth. If it is true however, that's got to be the World's Record!

« on: June 26, 2008, 09:43 »
I'm trying to obtain the worlds record for the lowest price paid for a stock image. ( subs DON'T count)

Last week on IS I was off to a good start.....19 cents for an image! Oh boy
Then the day after that I reeled in three .18 cents inages! WOW!
Today I am amazed that I landed a .17 cents image! YAY!

I can't wait to see what tomorrow and next week brings.
Rumor has it there are a few .15 cent images swimming around too. That's my goal.
I won't sleep until I catch that elusive .15 cent image.
