I have like a million of unused photos lying on my harddrive so I thougt I would make a little stockphoto site.
Nothing much and nothing that good but maybe someone can have some use of them.
Will upload more every now and then.

Why not upload them to www.istockphoto.com ? You'd get a lot more exposure and might even make a few dollars or credit to use for downloads... They are good quality photos and would probably be pretty popular on there.

I don't see why people keep making their own stock photo sites... seems like one big resource is a lot more valuable than 50 little ones scattered all over the place. Oh well. Nice photos though.

Yeah you are probably right...
Why didn't I think of that?
I though about that a while ago but then just forgot about it...
So I think I will scrap this and join that...
thanks guys!

I uploaded one pic of mine and made a buck fifty. Uploaded 5 but only 2 got selected cause of trademark issues ;) Nice pics btw.. I really sure the texture section would be useful for me. The ashtray one is one of the best IMO.

well, some people like to make stockphoto sites because then they have more freedom when it comes to posting stock and removing it, etc. also, a lot of people dont want to charge people for images. and if you have enough stock, then theres no reason not to make a stock site of your own.

I agree that 3jorn doesnt really have enough photos to make a minisite that would be visited (although it close) so maybe he should submit to sxc.hu or something. but stock.b-man.dk and stock.reh3.com certainly have enough photos to make their own sites. right? :D

No I don't really agree... I'd rather have one site to go to to get a large selection of good images. The smaller sites rarely have a search function, a large selection, or a varied selection. Since they are all by one photographer you get a lot of the same kind of shots with the same style, techniques, resolution, etc. A site like iStock provides a good search, huge selection, fast server, a screening process, a place to post requests for a certain kind of picture, etc. I'm not saying every picture should be posted on iStock of course, but I think a few sites like that would be good so there would be competition, but not just have 100's of little not-very-useful or functional sites. No offense to anyone that has their own stock photo site or anything... just my opinion.

I half do agree with Deeker too...
Well it depends...Something like B-man stockphotos do get alot of publicity and it's only your personal photos that are there.
My thought of this was a little B-man 2 thingy...
just a little stockphoto site where people can take photos.
I just wanted to make something a bit more personal, but I guess some big stockphoto site will get more people to take the photos and if I can get some small bucks from it then yes I think I will do that.
