08 Jun 07 - Remember... a rejection by a microstock company doesn't mean your photo isn't good. Don't be discouraged. Post a new thread with your photos for consideration and we'll all try to help you decide whether to submit or not. Then we'll see how good we are with our predictions. =)

About D40/x D60 Microstock

Eric Taub of the New York Times says, "Thanks to the Internet and digital cameras, thousands of semiprofessional photographers are now selling their shots through so-called microstock Web sites to customers around the world."

This group aims at exploring the possibilities of this "new economy" for those whose only capital is...a lowly Nikon D40( or D40x of D60)! Can a group of enthusiastic but low-budget, semi-semi-semi professionals actually make some money?

All D40/x and D60 photographers welcome to participate. Photos should be those you've submitted, or are considering submitting, to any of the microstock companies. Discussion topics welcome. Let's see if, together, we can figure this new game out.
