A two page spread chart, a survey of top stock agencies. The formats they want and other specs along those lines. They'd probably put stuff in there involving the general financial end.. And all that buyout stuff which I hear is ruining the whole stock thing for many people. And subject matter. And general size of total collection. And who owns it Gates or Getty. Now that I'm finally now getting interested in the whole stock angle at the age of 54 it seems the "golden age of the stock photographer" may be over. Bummer. That's a thread for a different hour.
