The PhotoShelter Collection officially went live to buyers on Monday morning. To the best of my knowledge, there have not been any sales as of yet, but there are over 250,000 images [and counting] that are available. I have only managed to get 52 images in… but considering I’ve only submitted 64 in total, I’m OK with my numbers [I definitely have room to improve, though]. This week I’ve been perusing the collection trying to get a better feel for what the editors want to see, and then digging through my archives accordingly. I’ve also decided to stop submitting uncompressed TIFs, and go with high res JPGs instead. It seems many of us new to the stock world took the technical requirements a bit literally and suffered through long upload times with 29mb TIF files… you can view my contributions on my microsite. There are few new images there, and many old favorites. As always, feedback welcome!

Made several functionality improvements to my website. Lots of new text content–an about page, contact page, and pricing guidelines. Will get fresh images up soon. In the mean time, I’ll post images onto the blog… hoping to get a new one up every week. Feel free to send feedback!
