All of your portfolios are an inspiration. Your success has convinced me to make this goal of a residual income into something more substantial. Thanks!

Remember your goal: "Since I'm always striving for originality..."

Be yourself, focus on the one thing that YOU are good at, not what others are good at...

If anything, you learned that some are good at background, some vectors, some nature, some business-people, etc.

You seem to have some good business sellers, but only a few. Maybe you should just take 100 more business pics of your favorite friends/models?

Very interesting metric!

676, 349, 335, 279, 243, 182, 163, 156, 141, 136, 97, 92, 87, 85, 79, 62, 61, 59, 59, 57

Coming up on two years soon.

Most of our images are of our kids. They model for food and shelter. And anyone who thinks that we are getting off cheap hasn't seen my electricity or food budget.
