When your favorite pen dies, it is indeed a sad day. First you get a hint with inconsistent ink distribution. With a 'scribble check' you then realize it is indeed wearing thin as the trail turns into just a sad indent on the paper. The final check is to open the pen and check the ink thingy. It is at that moment fears turn into reality. The other day, my black gel pen scribbled it's last. It's usually easy to recover from such sadness if an identical replacement is handy, but alas, not this time. This pen had been a gift so it was 'one of a kind'. I never realized until it was gone how valuable it was. I have carpal tunnel and while wrist wraps and cushioned mouse pads help with work on the computer, I feel the strain when I write anything ...

Wanted to wish everyone a happy new year! One of my resolutions is to gain weight. Yes, gain weight, so that I'll be more comfortable sitting in this hard chair at the computer for long hours uploading to Dreamstime :) What's your Dreamstime New Year Resolutions?

Straight from gramma's recipe box, this dessert is so rich and tasty you'll be shaking your fist at me for all the weight you'll gain. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of this dish, which is just as well because it isn't very photogenic anyways, so I've borrowed some images from my fellow contributers to illustrate. Cranberry Caramel Pudding 1 Cup Brown Sugar 2 Cups Hot Water 2 Tbsp. Butter Simmer the above "sauce" on the stovetop for 10 minutes. You'll be pouring this over the batter, which goes like this: 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Flour 2 tsp. Baking Powder 1/2 tsp. salt 3/4 Cup Milk 1/2 Cup Cranberries Turn the oven on to 350 degrees. Pour the batter into a casserole dish or other baking pan (makes no difference) and then pour ... [ Read more... ]

With all the fuss about digital camera tricks, photoshop tutorials, and the latest gadgets, it's easy to get caught up in a lot of technical details, piggyback on 'how to' concepts and lose sight of your most valuable tool of all - creativity. $1000's worth of tools and gadgets don't equate to posessing creativity in design - technology is merely a vehicle for creativity and so if nobody is behind the wheel, you aren't going very far. 'Design Through Discovery' by Marjorie Elliott Bevlin is an excellent book for those who want to develop their creative potential and insight into design. It is not a how-to book, nor is it littered with 'tips and tricks', and you certainly won't have to meditate and twist yourself into a pretzel to connect with some universal creative awareness. It simply ... [ Read more... ]

You've found the perfect image and want to purchase full ownership, but the price is a little more than your budget can afford. What to do? Ask for a deal. A lot of buyers might not realize that the creator of the image does have control over the price of SR-EL licenses. The SR-EL License allows you to purchase full ownership of a particular image, meaning you have exclusive rights to use that image. As a creator, I can choose to have that price automatically applied to all my images, or I can set a fixed price manually for each with a minimum of $350. When automated, the more downloads an image receives, the higher the price increases, with some images well over $3000 - $5000. So let's say the image you want to buy currently has an SR-EL price tag of $4000. It's well out of your ... [ Read more... ]

I forgot to mention something....
I would recommend people try and improve keywords for their images before dumping images to the free section. An image's lack of success could be simply having the wrong keywords, or not enough of them. - posted by

Hi Tara.
I believe it does help a fair amount. While there will always be a percentage of people that come to Dreamstime for free images only, the way the system is set up is perfectly designed to tempt people into buying other images.
Since the images I add to the free section aren't showing any potential for sales, I know that each image brings exposure to over a dozen other images in my portfolio. So it's a trade-off and one that I think is worth it. - posted by

I've been hoping for this for a while. Since this is just a test post I have not much to say right now but hope to use it regularly if it proves beneficial and easy to use. My only question now is - where's the RSS? I want to be able to feed to my domain. Hoo Ha - There it is. Oh .... I like it. Anyways, good luck to everyone and their blogs. Carole :) Forgot to mention - what can you expect from me? - writing about creativity and development - about whatever strikes me - announcements on new images, deals, etc.
