Latest Work, 2008 Week 9

Latest Work, 2008 Week 9

There are not as many covers as I had hoped there would be. Because of my month-long subscription from hell, I wanted to do as many covers as I could so that the majority of the images I downloaded would be immediately useful, but I haven’t gotten many new assignments, and the ones that I do have require something a little more different than the usual fare. What I should have done was subscribe earlier, back when I was whipping…

Too Much of a Good Deal

I’ve subscribed to a stock photo site for a month. It’s one of those sites that have only subscription packages available; they don’t use credits. It’s fairly expensive, so I went for the shortest, cheapest package they had. I figured that at a maximum 25 downloads a day, it was not a bad deal, so long as I downloaded those 25 everyday. That’s 750 images for the month, at less than $4 each. Well, it’s a lot harder than I…
