Stock Mania

2010 for me is a year to make things happen, both personally and professionally.

Its started off well, we have a holiday booked to the South of France and 3 weeks ago we became the proud 'parents' of our little dog Eden the beautiful Cocker Spaniel/Mascot!

We had been wanting a dog for a long time but kept putting it off - there was always a reason not to get one - until one Sunday afternoon, I found her advertised and on the Monday she was snuggled up in our living room!

Just so you can see how cute she is:



Now whats all this got to do with Stock Photography?!

Well, last year we set up an iStock account and sporadically updated it and adding a few images on here and there, there was always something else to do and other things to work on and we didn't really bother with it - that is until 2010 came along, remember, the year to make things happen!

We've seen the earning potential in Stock Photography and I've been concentrating on it majorly the last couple of months, building up a decent portfolio so hopefully it will pick up and all the effort will pay off one day!

An example of our Stock Photography:

So far this year we have had 81 images accepted into our iStock Portfolio, which shows how serious i'm getting with it, for the whole of 2009 we only had 69 images accepted!

In Stock Photography terms this is quite a small quantity, but for now, were building it up nicely and hopefully in the months to come we will have more and more accepted!

Now I can see there is something to gain from Stock Photography the only way is up - and I'm getting a bit addicted to taking stock shots!

A couple of images from our iStock Portfolio:

So the moral of this blog...Don't put things off, make things happen for yourself, no one else will!
