How did you find iStock?

Photoshop User Magazine . . . that $1 ad. 

Found it in 2005 trough a friend. Since then I used it primary to buy pictures for business/private purposes. And now i started to upload my own pictures.

A coworker showed me a design he created with a photo he purchased for $1, then casually mentioned, "Hey, you like photography.. maybe you should check it out. Who knows.. maybe you can sell some of your stuff."

The rest is history... he is no longer a coworker, because iStock is now my full time job. 

I did not find it!!!

Istock found me!  

Scott Kelby's digital photography book, dedicates a page to istock and all the images are istock.

i stock was mentioned in an article in Time magazine Dec. 06, I immediately looked into it and find it is beyond anything I could imagine. People not only look at my photos, but actually buy them!!! Wow.

Searching for cheap RF images 5 years ago ... never looked back.

Washington Post had a story. Husband threw it for me to read. Did think then it was a load of c.... Now check my page every day. Go figure.

I was a member of another site for a brief time.  Someone had mentioned iStock in their forum, I found one of  their contributors here, so I decided to give it a try.  Bruce unveiled the exclusive program, I quit the other site, and the rear view mirror broke off.

 


Reading at the depreview forums, looking for information to choose a digital camera. At a thread ,some professionals, that sounded a bit full of themselves,  talked of istock as a kind of sect devoted to destroy the art and business of photography. Someting so perverted had to be interesting, so I came running.
