    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Actually that was and is a concern about the photography becoming work. The stock photo folks want the shots big and unsharpened. That means I have to go back to the original file and reprocess the shot for them. Also most of shots with the D2H are too small and any of them that I want to submit have to upsized with Genuine Fractals, Right now I'm logging in lots of time at the PC.

    Thanks for stopping by.

    Thanks Al. I doubt if I'll make all that much $ as they seem to be a fairly new and a fairly small site catering to a niche market.
