All I can say is that I love taking pictures.  Everything from a frosty morning, to a rainbow after a thundershower gets me excited - I love to capture nature in all its’ glory.

But, the one thing that has been a big stumbling block for me is justifying the costs to my wife.  She doesn’t understand why I always need the latest and greatest equipment and how I can’t use my five year old camera.  She just thinks that it is a big waste of money, and told me that if I wanted to spend anymore of it, I would have to come up with it myself.

So, I have been looking at joining some of the stock photography websites out there to see if I could cash in on the stock photo craze.

I found a couple of sites that sold their stock photos royalty free and allowed people like myself to submit my photos to be included in their site.  So, I have submitted some photos and I will have to wait and see if I am accepted into the program.

I just hope that things go well and I can quickly make the money that I need to buy a new camera - this year old one just about doesn’t cut it anymore.
