i've found etsy to be even worse than stock- i get a steady (tho diminishing) sales for stock, but very few sales on etsy - and it takes a lot longer to set up each product.

another possibility is zazzle, tho again few sales, huge competition and need to set up individual items for each image

ebay doesnt allow digital sales, but you can offer a dvd collection

either way --topaz does make better images for submission to other agencies - i submit very little to alamy these days (& have no connection to topaz)

that's NOT the PS'd image that fox used!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

any reputable news source has a responsibility do this fact checking before posting inflammatory images - fox doesnt seem to care if it fosters their ideology

absolute nonsense - promoted by alt-right r****ts - most of these retail outlets were already part of the stay-at-home oprders - fox news as a source?? roflmao!!!!!!!!

another r****t

it used to be 24 mb! yes, it's one of the silliest requirements of any of the MS agencies - and they still ban certain cameras as non-professional

you can use apps like Topaz gigspixel AI to upsize your images - i've used it for more than a year now and get results similar to the ones in their ads. i use it for low light days and interiors

and greater seattle thanks you for your decision to stay away!

when was any place in seattle 'destroyed'? and yes, the violence that occurred was minor compared w the overwhelming majority of peaceful, non-violent protesters

absolute nonsense and laughable = you totally misrepresent what's happening here -- the shops you mention are more troubled by the c***d-stay at home orders

true - but those were the VERY small # of cases i mention - they were the work of a small group late at night when most protesters had left. 1 never said such acts were protected by the 1st

and while Sawant isn't my rep, i do support her - so what?

that article doesn't support your claim at all - it does mention the scattered violence that occurred a week before CHAZ existed, but there's been no violence there (and no police over-reaction) in the last week.

PM was a great source before the internet - now a google search will get the same.


microstockgroup.com lists the relative income photographers rec'd from MS the previous month and also has reviews of the agencies

there are actually only a few MS agencies worth submitting to (and they all pay low royalties) - shutterstock, adobe, dreamstime, pond5

as previously posted, alamy is no longer a great option - they've always had few sales - that was fine when you rec'd $300-500 per sale - but at the same or slower rate of sales, income is $5-15/image

for me, alamy is one of the lower performers

we continue to have one of the best 911 services in the country

no, but i have many friends who do -- get the facts - there is neither disruption nor terrorizing of citizens
