Are Caucasian people, people of color too?

Don't be a poopyhead.

No, really, I love photographing people but have very limited to none access to any other color.

I would advise against Nikon 3000 and 5000 series bodies because you are limited to G series lenses. In the long run this will be more expensive than going with 7000 series & up. You can get the excellent D7100 new with kit lens for around $800.00.

While I agree, I must notice that people have been using the "AF-S lenses only" argument against D3xxx and D5xxx series since the D40 came out, but when it comes to lens recommendations the very same people are fast to say "get the new AF-S/VRII version, it's sharper and focuses faster".
It'd say other things are a way better argument for not going the D3xxx/D5xxx route, there are lot of nice and not very expensive lenses with integrated AF to choose from these days that render that argument a bit absolete.

Sure if someone is into collecting a vast number of lenses, better get the body that supports as many as possible.

I'm amazed, we've been waiting for two month so they can change to this brand new system and in the end we get a messed up .txt file. What is this, the MS-DOS era? As bad as it was before this it was way better and at least more modern. 

I tried, don't even remember where, and got rejection for noise. Really? Of course there is noise, it's a confetti sized senzor, duh, what's the point of mobile stock if they don't ajdust their standards to what phone cameras are capable of. Nonsense.
I ain't gonna setup lighting just to shoot with phone, I'll shoot with proper camera. 

qHero and DeepMeta are actually independently developed to make the upload process easier, they are not developed by IS.
While using DeepMeta, the only thing that really slows me down is the useless IS curated dictionary or whatever they call it. I can't login in DeepMeta3 so I can't comment if it's any easier than it used to be, but by jusdging by the current ESP upload IS is still using that.

I am financially dependent and fulltime on stock photography for the last 18-20 years. Its ok but I can't say I am too happy about the micro industry at present. SS down from around $.80 per day to a meager $.30-40.
Adobe going up around 30%. DT is showing signs of coming alive.

My what some call Macro agencies are steady going up not by much but at leat moving upwards.

On the whole and all things considered competition this and that one has to be reasonably content.

Your daily earnings on SS are $0.30-0.40 or $30-40?

Maybe try Xpiks, I've never had a problem with it and it's so easy to use.

Xpiks can upload photos to SS?

If in doubt submit as editorial, from your description it sounds like editorial stuff anyway.

I'm getting very inconsistent release rejections, same batch, same release, some go through some don't...

Still no invitation but managed to get in using email and reset method but DeepMetaV3 won't login using the same user/pass.

Received my email yesterday, it seems they didn't like any of the three photos from my portfolio there, such a shame.

Hope that careless reviewer will be penalized

I hope he receives the email too

Still no email. It's interesting that Deepmeta news page about DeepmetaV3 changed from "coming out later today" to "coming soon".

Actually this is great and a lot easier, still more clicks than SS but very nice, easy and fast. Good job.
Now, if I had thousands of photos I'd be angry for needing to revisit them all.
