So i'm walking along Brighton beach,during the Istockphoto London Lypse, minding my own biscuits when i get chatting to a guy.He works for Amateur Photographer magazine.We get chatting about microstock/Istock and he asks me if i would be the subject for an article.I gave Mr Richard Sibley my business card and thought nothing more about the conversation.
A couple of weeks ago he contacted me and asked a few questions.The upshot was today he sent a PDF file with a two page spread that's been published in this weeks magazine.Richard very kindly bought three images from my portfolio to accompany the article.I look forward to buying the magazine tommorow.
I'm well chuffed

Congrats! Right time at the right place. Maybe one day you'll interview someone for a magazine.

I would like to add that two other Istock members are also featured.Hollger and Carol Gomez are talking about travel photography and inspection and keywords.My article is the best though

Congrats. I had to laugh when I saw that they list 5 microtosk sites. They have the big 4 and Crestock

They obviously didn't do much research or they would have seen Crestock down in low earners in the poll here. It will be funny if they get lots of amateur photographers submitting there, with their high rejection rate and low sales.

It's like a moth drawn to fly into the flame. He's still flitting about and reading here.
