‘Tis The Season At Stocksy

With all the holidays coming up, Stocksy United has decided to give you an early present! 

Stocksy Makes Extended License Better Deal For Buyers

The title of the post says it all.  There’s been a change at Stocksy that makes one, or, well, two, of the extended licenses, a better deal for buyers.  Read on!

Stocksy Makes It Easier To Buy Extended Licenses

When you license a stock image for use in your work, you’re really entering into a contract that allows you certain rights to use that image.  This week, Stocksy United did a revamp of their image pages that makes it easier for you to purchase the rights you need for your project.  Let’s take a look…

Win Free Stock Photos!

This summer has been great in St. Louis, where I live.  Now, I’m a cool weather kind of guy.  Normally, summers are high 90’s here, and last year we had 10 days in a row over 100 degrees!  So, this year, where we’ve been hovering between 70 and 80 most of the time, has been great.  For me, anyways.  So, since I’m in a very good mood, not sweating the moment I step outside, let’s liven up August with a […]
