Or you could set up your own stock site on something like Photoshelter. (I'm looking into doing that in addition to selling through Alamy) Alamy is now taking 50% but that's better than Getty's 80%!! Alamy does not edit submissions and only rejects for technical reasons. If the photo meets their size requirements, is sharp (no post-production sharpening allowed), and you have inspected every pixel at 100% for dust, it should pass. I think you have to send 4 for the first submission. That's exaclty what I'm doing with photos of the grandchildren. It makes a nice little nestegg for their future!
