Just a word of explanation to those who don't understand about stock 
photography:  I make my living from selling illustrations to textbooks and 
magazines.  The photographs have to illustrate an editorial 
article.  Editorial photography is totally different from advertising 
photography and art photography.  The editors want a photograph that will 
illustrate the article that they already have selected for their magazine, 
textbook, or encyclopedia.  The requested subjects can be very esoteric and 
require a thorough filing system with many key words.  About 90% of stock 
photography has to be in color and include as many races and genders as 
possible.  Everything should be shot in both vertical and horizontal and 
include space for titles.

I would love to make a living doing only documentary photography, but have 
not found a way to make that possible.  Currently the stock photography 
funds the documentary photography which I do to feed my soul and give me a 
reason to keep photographing.

Leically,

Tina
