 Beate Chelette will relax and spend some quality time with her "intelligent, beautiful, opinionated" 15-year-old daughter Gina now that she has the opportunity to relax a bit. But don't expect the energetic stock photography industry veteran to sit still for too long.

 Traditional stock photographers argue that it's impossible to make money selling at microstock prices. But microstock photographer Erik Reis is happy with his results.
Reis is a telecommunications technician who discovered microstock in 2005 and submitted a few files. Early results were encouraging enough that in 2006, he began to aggressively produce to give this "new line of business a chance." To date, his images have been downloaded over 35,000 times. He receives an average of about $.50 per download. The best-selling of his 1,338 images on StockXpert has been downloaded 696 times. View Reis' portfolio here.

 "There are no instructions on how to take cow pictures," says photographer Jack Remsberg. "I used what I had learned about cow judging and conformation. It's like being a portrait photographer; you just try to help a cow look her best."
Remsberg ought to know: he took more than 50,000 pictures of cows in a five-decade career as one of the country's busiest cattle photographers.
