I am frustrated and disapointed in the state of the stock industry ,and have no affiliation with Getty other that my contract. Like countless other shooters ( couldnt even guess at the number) I have experienced a rapid decline in income. So , I have a choice. I can blame the agency ( which I helped build the last 15 years) , blame the proliferation of microstock, and give up in frustration , or look back, say thank you , and goodbye, and move ahead. I chose the later. I have a hugh amount of respect for anyone making a living with photography regardless of their workplace. May good fortune reward your efforts. Michael
