Happy New Year to You! Hope you have gotten off to a rousing start in 2012. I’ve got quite a few location shoots lined up or am working on, so you can look forward to some great new stock imagery in the coming months. However, to get you going, I’ve added some new images for Valentine’s Day 2012, which you can see below. There are some nice bright couple shots with lots of copyspace, some 3d renders, a few backgrounds […]

For every download, I will be putting $.40 into the pot […]
A few weeks ago, I showed off my new Tailgating Party Series, which you can find at iStockphoto.com . Today, I’ve got a few “behind the scenes” images. Shoots that involve food are always lots of fun to do, and you get to eat the leftovers afterwards.

Some credit costs per image appear to have slightly increased overnight at iStockphoto.com. Some photo collections and a video collection were affected. In addition, a few prices went down. See the new prices in blue text, below.
Recently, there’s been a spate of posts, both on the iStockphoto.com forums and elsewhere, about some targeted advertising that has been popping up around the net. iStockphoto contributors are encountering iStockphoto ads that feature their images, and are wondering how their image was picked for the campaign.
