To be honest... vector shit sells like hotcakes for me, I would think .swf files are pretty hot too. I know for a fact that some people make their living off of istock.

i would think so, being a full time photographer/graphic design would make enough to live.

For some reason whenever I click "view portfolio" it only shows half my uploaded images so this is only a sampling of what I have up there.

I have 150 images in total and probably about 500 RAW images on my machine which need to be converted and uploaded. My goal is to be making about 10k a year off it.

You have nice images nocomply but not very many. I suggest building the depth of your portfolio... shoot with the idea of "stock" in mind and not so much "art", also proper keywording is a HUGE help.

I think the idea of making $ from istock is cool. You have some really nice photos up there. My only issue would be taking what could be used for fine art prints and somewhat cheapening them by offering them up for anyone to use for next to nothing. I guess as you said though you aren't shooting for the purpose of creating art in this case.
Do you have more artistic images that you wouldn't put on istock?
