Photogs: Those who take 'em and those who love 'em

[ButchEire]

If it's generic, it will sell and i've never had someone steal my stuff. These sites that sell stock have measures in place to protect the photos (eg: watermarks). They don't want to lose $$ either, so they do everything they can to protect them. It's a completely different mindset though, stock photography tends to be the photos everyone would take if they could, rather than a shot that is uniquely yours. It does provide a bit of residual income but I haven't uploaded in a couple of years and I only get $$ for the ones that have been available during that time.
