This particular print has quite a few images credited from image banks, what I can only assume is a local daily and an individual under the business name/ personal name sort of affair. Jimxxxxphotography.com thing.

Here's one microstock guy who won't be uploading any more. I have over 3000 images on Shutterstock and over 2600 on Big Stock. I've been quite successful for someone who refuses to submit conceptual images on a white background (not that there's anything wrong with that) but the increasingly stringent restrictions on editorial images has finally convinced me to stop. Besides, the general trend will be down as the image pool constantly increases, the photo prices decrease and, in fact, one can get all the free images one would like and not bad quality, either.
I've sold my pro lenses (that's a good way to make money in photography) and left myself with just a D300 + 35/1.8 — as low a tide as has ever been with me. It should be fun to see what I can extract from this one lens/one body combo.
Meanwhile, the royalties are still being paid. That should be interesting, too, to see how quickly they diminish.

I didn't read all the blather but please don't do business with iStock or any of it's ilk. Or for Getty if you can help it. They are immoral pigs.
