[Leica] Stock Sales

[Ted Grant]

Hi Tina,
"STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY" at one time could supply $4,000 or $5 thousand dollars a
month apart from assignments. 
Today it's a joke and might as well be null & void dollar wise. :-(
Many of the photographers I knew way back when today are broke, unemployed
and basically living on hand out donations. WHY?
The iphone and whatever other names they are called by people who give their
images away for their name under a published photo.

As well as the corporations who wont/don't want to pay for "Quality
photography!" Crap will do, simply on the basis of everybody on staff can
capture some kind of "crappy image" in our eyes. But in theirs? Looks "OK!"
And that's all that  matters! The "bean counters" rule supreme! Get it for
nothing! 
THIS IS A MOMENT OF PHOTOGRAPHY REALITY!  :-(QUALITY of IMAGE AND CONTENT?"
No relevance whatsoever!
"cheaper or NOTHING?" THEY ARE HAPPIER THAN HELL!
None of you lads who've had to earn your living as an in depended or
freelancer? You'll not likely relate to this post. Those who've earned their
keep in this fashion? I need not go on about how horrific it is trying to
earn any kind of living these days.
cheers,
ted grant  :-(

The credit line used to say Tina Manley/Alamy.  Now it says Alamy and only
sometimes Alamy/Tina Manley.  Stock has changed a lot in the last few years
