QT,

I make a substantial part of my income from stock sales, primarily to magazines of architecture images. This month for instance I sold 18 images, one for a website, 4 for ads, and thirteen for editorial (8 national, 5 regional). That is pretty much an average month. It is not enough to live on, but it helps. It is all part of the mix.

As to why they chose me? You should ask them. I was pretty surprised myself, but I didn't ask why. I registered three days ago and they asked me yesterday. Clearly there are bigger stock shooters out there, but maybe with a new organization allot of the big stock shooters have not signed up yet. Typical of all pr in this business, I do know one of the staff people, and he knows what a high profile I have in some areas. Go figure. I don't look a gift horse...............
