It was very frustrating for a while. I’ve been anxiously awaiting to accumulate enough downloads to become an iStockphoto exclusive contributor. I deleted all of my other affiliations and I was ready to go. I hit my download goal and began the process. Unfortunately, iStockphoto was having problems. Their computers were unable to produce the approval rating. My approval rating was 0. Impossible of course, since I had over 200 photos in the collection and over 250 downloads. But alas, computers run the world. So, I would check daily to see if the problem was solved and then to my surprise, one day my approval rating was there. I seized the moment and completed my application. Woo Hoo! I am now an exclusive contributor. So, if you cannot afford a custom photo shoot, perhaps stock photography holds the solution to your needs. Check out my collection at iStockphoto by clicking on the graphic…
