 I believe the gross worldwide revenue that is generated from the licensing of stock imagery, both still photos and illustrations, is about $1.8 billion annually.
In May 2004, I estimated the market at $1.5 billion, and at the time I addressed the lack of hard facts necessary to make an industry estimate. There is still a lot we don't know, but the consolidation of sellers in the last three years has provided additional information that makes it much easier to estimate the gross industry revenue today. In planning for the future, it is useful for producers and sellers of stock photography to have some idea of market size and trends.

The Photoshopped image was one of 79 altered photographs Detrich had submitted to the Blade since the beginning of 2007. No one knows how many others he had submitted in his 18-year career with the newspaper.

 You remember the old joke about someone walking up to a great photographer and asking "How do you take so many great photos?" and the photographer replies, "The only secret is f/8 and be there." Well, there's a lot of truth in that old adage -- but for some photographers the trick to getting great images is "f295 and be there!" F295, if you haven't guessed, is the approximate aperture of a pinhole camera.
