The thing to keep in mind...Thanks for your comment. The thing to keep in mind about this project is that it is intended to produce images that are out of the mainstream of my normal workflow. In other words, none of these images would have otherwise been produced except for this project. As it is developing, I am obtaining three to four extra shots a day from this project out of the additional variations I do of each situation.<br /><br />It is much too early to publish any sales results. Most of these images haven't even made it into the marketplace. I usually estimate that it will take at least six months before any sales data will begin to come back, and it can take a year before any of that data begins to be meaningful.<br /><br />The thing to keep in mind here is that these shots were produced very economically, that they are intended to garner extra revenue I would not have realized otherwise, and that all this is being done by coming up with one good conceptual stock thought a day. Simplicity and speed, not complexity, is the name of the game here.Tom Grill:https://www.blogger.com/profile/06149972936838234537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977439107777850468.post-78109915879905849012010-12-13T23:05:34.462-05:002010-12-13T23:05:34.462-05:00I like the concept of your blog to shoot authentic...I like the concept of your blog to shoot authentic and original photos without any set up. obviously I think a big reason why photo buyers look at places like flickr is because the photos on there dont seem set up and the true/authentic community feel of the site. <br /><br />in general, how does this project fall along the lines of your "shoot with an RM attitude" position which you blogged about here. seems slightly contradictory but i like both ideas a lot. <br />http://tomgrillblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/rm-attitude.html#comment-form<br /><br />Also when do you plan to post some of your results?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
