So where are you all happiest selling your stock photography? Istock? Shuttersotck? Getty? Or something else?

I have accounts with several stock photo sites. Advice? Well, from my experience, you can't really sell an artistically-inclined photo as well as you can a generic one. People looking for stock are looking for appealing, but generic. You also can't really do editing on potential stock, because each time you save the edit, the picture loses quality and when it's reviewed, they can pick that out a mile away.

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.

lately, i've been hitting a club or two every other weekend, doing live music performance shots. it's challenging and interesting...and the music is good.
if anyone has an interest, you can see some of it here. it's taking some getting used to, the clubs not minding at all that i show up with camera gear. the folks at antone's were cool enough to set me up with some really good space to shoot.
