Every microstock contributor will confirm: finding one of your images being published on the internet or in a magazine is good news! Well, today I traced back one of my mine that was sold recently.

I found a tip about the way to try to find back your downloaded images; a Google search gave no results, but the recently launched Bing engine from Microsoft made my day :-) Here is the place to be:http://www.emuse-zine.com/Jun2009/page28a.html Just scroll down a bit...

Next to mine, www.emuse-zone.com publishes much more images from Dreamstime going from the photos used for their banners till the images used for guiding the poetry. The site mainly covers selected poetry, reviews of fiction and art, etc.

New collections

Everything still goes well on Dreamstime. After one month of not uploading images at DT, June was a good month for photography: the weather was good, a lot of activities were going on and will be keeping to go on during the summer. My next goal is to reach a portfolio of 100 online images by the end of the month.

Next to my 2 public collections that I've created earlier ( African wildlife and Australia) I created 2 private collections:

Both still need to grow, but at least it's a gathering place for some subjects.

Here is some teaser from the food and beverages collection.

Action on Dreamstime

This month has been a good one for my microstock business. Everything is relative of course, so with "good one", I mean compared with previous months :-) The number of downloads is increasing, so that's the important thing. Needless to say that in this stage I've been also frequently confronted with a rejection. A bit frustrating, when the picture which I thought would be definitely accepted, turned out the have some flaws. But I see it as a learning process.

I also noted that some of my uploads have been put in collections, which is a good thing as this leads to a bigger viewer audience, and to an increasing potential download market as well :-)

Here are 3 examples of the pictures that were recently downloaded:
