Tis a big bunch of shite, although I do find it useful for the odd vector quickie when I can't be arsed to draw it myself. Also good for your random object shot, such as needing a bag of golf clubs RIGHT NOW.

I'm curious to know if any of you have ever requested a certain type of image from the iStock community. You can do that, right?

lunchmoney at best....
if a paying client finds out you've done istock, good luck justifying any sort of living wage for your work

Maybe I can go around the city and take hundreds of photos of NYC. Wouldn't mind extra money for doing nothing.

Is there a stock site that still sources from large number of online submissions, but only carries quality images and sells them for you for proper money? Something above iStock but not as "pro" as Getty and other big agencies. Something like http://www.istockpro.com/ used to be I guess.

I wonder what's the key to success on iStock 2cents, other than good shots. Lots of images of people? Networking on the site? Signing on as exclusive? Any tips welcome :)

- They don't pay out till its over $100 tho. This is a year or so of earnings.neferiu
- I think if i took the time to get more shit in there, the chances of that increasing are good...neferiu
- but why spend hours on something that may return another $50 compared to 1 job that could pay the bills.neferiu
- i just assume you throw a bunch of shit on there and watch and wait. it's just sitting on my computer anyways.cbass99
- Well that's the thing - they dont take just 'shit'... so you do have to spend some time... tho maybe its different for photos.neferiu

- yikes. why the mini red door... that pic is just weird...neferiu
