Stock

I've finally decided to delve into the world of stock photography. I was reading through my Popular Photography magazine and found an article about it, and though I'd heard of this in the past and even slightly considered it, I thought that now would be a good time to start. I searched around and found this great site on how to make my own cardboard box studio to shoot small objects, and it works like a gem! (The photos above are a few I've taken in the last couple of days.) I'm signed up at a great stock photo site called Shutterstock but I haven't quite gotten started. They review ten photos of all new photographers before they allow them to officially join, and I haven't submitted my photos for that quite yet. I'm kind of waiting on the new Nikon Coolscan V ED I just bought online the other day so I can put some of my earlier work on the site ... it will allow me to scan all of my negatives into digital form. Yay! I've been procrastinating way too long on getting it, and now it will be here within a few weeks :)
