  • I’m one of the most influential photographer of this decade. PDN survey.
    To my big surprise I am on the list of the most influential photographers of this decade.

I feel terribly humble [...] […]
  • Great Christmas Presents for Photography loving Guys
    Great Christmas Presents for Photography loving Guys Since I am a photography loving guy myself, this is partly my own wish list. I will classify myself as a relatively skeptical and critical person. This list is for the slightly geeky type that enjoys nostalgic retro stuff and photography gadgets. This post I presume is for the [...] […]

  • LensBaby – More than just for fun
    Lensbaby images sell!… If you can get them online. That’s the tricky part. I simply love shooting with my lensbaby and actually have four of them. One for Nikon and three for my Canon.

Not adding much to microstock right now

Written by astoner on 22 August 2009

As you can see from my lack of posts on my earnings lately, I’ve not been focused on microstock right now.  Still getting a couple downloads, actually approaching the first payout on a site or two.  Still want to get back to doing some shooting and uploading, just haven’t had the time lately.

June 2009 Microstock Earnings

Written by astoner on 08 July 2009

I made a little money in June, but it wasn’t much so I haven’t even bothered pulling them together.  I am finally uploading some again so hopefully I’ll have some approved and get things rolling again.

Microstock Earnings May 2009

Written by astoner on 31 May 2009

I suppose I’m taking a slight risk posting this before the actual end of the month, but I’m willing to take that chance.  I’ll update the post if I actually get a Sunday download.

It’s now been two months since I’ve done any uploading of images.  I’m actually really getting the itch to get back to uploading, just don’t have much time right now.  The reason I want to get more pictures uploaded is because I’m really starting to see the financial effect a large, high quality microstock portfolio can have for me.  Although I can’t really say my portfolio is large or high quality.

Microstock Earnings April 2009

Written by astoner on 29 April 2009

Did not get many pictures uploaded this month.  My earnings were actually better this month with some activity finally picking up at IStockPhoto.  I’m actually starting to get close to a pay out on a couple of the sites.  It’s only taken me about two years.
