It's not that at all. I've been in the graphic design industry for almost 20 years now. And the microstock industry for about 5. I'm not concerned at all about he size of my bank account. From what I've read about averages of a stock photographers average income per image of their entire portfolio... I'm doing just fine. I've seen my design work on billboards, on TV, I pass a bus every day to work that I did the logo design and bus design. The novelty has nothing to do with "micro-stock". It's part of a person accepting that it's part of their profession and it becoming routine. That's all. Hmm… It’s not that at all.

Feeling the burn of micro-stock hurts. As the novelty wears off its even worse when you think of how much bigger your bank account should be with kind of image use.

It's kind of sad, I don't get nearly as excited as I used to about "finding my images" anymore. The novelty of it has certainly worn off a little. Still, it's cool. I've been told of image findings by my boss in a trade publication. There was a VH1 show that used an image in a bumper graphic. And another one was a regional bank newsletter that everyone I know seemed to have gotten. So, yeah, iStockphotos are pretty widespread. I saw three driving to work the other day on billboards. Thanks Mariano.
