Time magazine buys cover image on stock site for $30

and how incredibly fitting is it that the cover story featuring the stock photo of this "penny jar" is on the topic of "The New Frugality". I hope Time included in their story the fact that the cover photo only cost them $30 to acquire to accentuate the point.

I posted this a few weeks ago, and sadder still are the comments on his flicker site congratulating him for his sale!
The poor guy didn't even get a photo credit, or a free magazine for a tear sheet!

30$ is cheap !

Even i managed to sale one of my photo to a Desi magzine for 80$, and it was not for cover only for an article + i got photo credit, but no copy :cry
