The web is exploding the stock photography market. While the per-image price is very low, there is, over time, the possibility of making good money through volume sales. Photographers are flocking to these sites by the tens of thousands. These services are a veritable sponge for the tsunami of digital images flooding the net.

Is it really a Bad Thing to sell your work for pennies? To go for volume sales instead of the One Big Killer sale? Dunno. But at least it does give me, as a budding artist, a place to 'be bad', to get free (somewhat) critiques and even a little money. And also the fantasy that I may be "Discovered". Sure - maybe I'll end up giving away an image or piece of work that might have sold under RM rules as a big hit. But that is a gamble I'll take for now.
