You read and understand properly. I am still making a small living selling
stock but nothing like twenty or even ten years ago. I have enough released
photos of people which most of the new "snappers" don't have. Those I still
lease as RM. I have never gone the RF route and never will. Thanks
goodness, most people are catching on that it's impossible to make a living
with micro-stock unless you are the micro stock company.
