My husband has been a photographer for as long as he can remember. I, also, loved to hold a camera, and have taken some pretty impressive landscapes, haven't we all? :D But this is his story, his introduction into the crazy world we call Microstock. Robert was getting bogged down at work, and his co-worker suggested he pick up a hobby, you know, to clear his mind. The coworker was learning photography, himself, so he would often times spend hours drilling my husband about this and that. Questions about lighting, and tabletop work, f-stops and pixel size, the excitement began to grow again. The coworker researched gallery showings and other avenues of exposing his work to the public, and ran across Microstock. He asked if Robert knew anything about ... [ Read more... ]

You guys are going to make a great team! I've tried to get my wife to help me, but she doesn't show much interest, although she is great with her own little point and shoot. Maybe someday I'll get her going in stock with her own account, but I'm going to have to teach her some photoshop. - posted by

So, the rush is on. Our goal? 750 quality images up and running by the end of April. We are currently at 250. The initial thought was to just flood with the images we already have, we definitely have a good 400 in our "Secondary Submission" folder. But, that's just it, they are secondary. Not quite as bold as what I chose for our first round. The math works out to about 125 images a week. 125 images a week!! A staggering amount, and one that I was curious to see if he could meet. And with great dedication, and definite diversity, he shoots everything he can get his hands on. Like he always tells me, everything is a subject, it's just in how you look at it. From the lipstick tubes I have in my bathroom to a set of old keys ... [ Read more... ]

So, GREAT NEWS!! We upgraded our camera!! YAY!! At the same time, we purchased an external hard drive, thinking we'd put the company on that. Well, somehow, in the process of installing the driver for the ext, something got screwed up... But, it didn't mess up, right away. So, not knowing it was damaged, I began to move our catalog over to the ext. And... it crashed. Then, the whole computer crashed, and we lost the last two weeks of images, ALL of our RAW files, everything we had in our own queue to upload, and my data files on our images... OMG!!! Well, frantic to come up with a solution, we got some programs working to clear the registry and fix the problems, and in safe mode, we found the ext did NOT crash, it just stopped responding. WE FOUND THE DATA WE LOST!... [ Read more... ]

I have been an artist as long as I can remember, drawing, sketching, and painting. When I was in high school, my father purchased a 35mm camera. He did not know how to use it, so when I came home, he asked if the school had a photography class I could take, so I could teach him to shoot. It did have a class, I took it, and I found a whole new world I could create in. I prefer a controlled studio to the outdoors. Fine Art Nude work is a particular passion, and I hope to eventually publish a “coffee table” book of my work. I have shot a little bit of just about everything in my 20+ years as a photographer. Subjects I can be creative with are always a pleasure to shoot. From portraits to landscapes, products to fashion; if I can be creative and have some fun, then it’s a really good day.
