Gotta love Tineye! Found this one on the Walmart site - anyone out there got this classic album in their collection? I took this image about 6 years ago when I first got my 300D - it has sold over 550 times on Shutterstock - a number of times as an enhanced purchase (extra $$$)... havent made a great deal out of it - but fun to find it in use!! Funnily enough it was a very hard metal band so I am sure they will be thrilled to be on the front of this CD. That will teach em to blindly sign a model release.. :)

It's a cool image, no doubt: but honestly, I wonder who thought it "goes" with Redneck Country... Or at least that isn't an image I would think of when I think of redneck country music!

Heh, my thoughts as well - but hell, they paid their $0.36 for the image so they can use it how they like! I am just watching as the money comes rolling in!!

I reckon it will go down as one of the Classic Album covers such as Dark Side of the Moon or Nevermind.

LOL, you're hilarious!

Not to get into any kind of "stock" issues, but I have a friend who is a mulitmillionaire as well as being a freaking financial genius (he invests in companies and takes a very tiny percentage, and over the years it has made him very wealthy), and he is always telling me this: "a little bit of a lot of things adds up". He says that multiple streams of small revenue will eventually be a solid groundwork for financial security. He says that stock photography is no different. If you eventually have a good catalog of thousands of images regularly bringing in small revenue, it will be worth it.

Is it polite to call your sister a broad? That's not PC... :P

I just had to tease :)

I'd actually be ecstatic receiving $.36. I've only sold one thing, and that was by accident.

Oh no Wendy, it's not like that...I was actually writing that while you replied! I didn't even know you had replied until I posted my reply!! But I know you were teasing anyway!

That's funny. I've never found any of mine in use, though I'm always teasing my husband that he's up on billboards all over Japan. I have some construction shots of him up that sell all the time, and back when they used to tell you who bought them the names were always Asian.

Try tineye.com to see if you can find them in use anywhere.

If anyone is in Walmart this weekend and you see it, could you pick me up a copy and send it over - obviously you will be reimbursed.

However, nothing can posssibly recompense you for the humiliation of actually buying it...

I don't know much about stock, obviously. $0.36?!

My last sale was of a grenade that I took with a P&S 7 years ago, a whopping 2.35 on Dreamstime. I took the day off to celebrate. ;)

How did you search for it? Did it still have the original file name you used?

Funny how Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard do not sound like redneck music to me. Not that I listen to them much but I do like a few JC tunes.

What is redneck music?

It goes like this... southern = country = redneck! LOL! But if you want a true definition, look up Jeff Foxworthy's redneck dictionary.

Are you kidding me???? I would have to pick up 2 copies - one for you and one for me! That is my kinda music. I love Merle's rendition of the great Blaze Foley song "If I could only fly".

I thought it was a young J. Cash when I saw it

Wow... I didn't know this sort of program existed. I like it.

I am also wondering what sites/companies are recommended for someone who wants to get started doing a little bit of stock work?

I'm on several sites, but the most consistent performer isShutterstock. Others that do fairly well are iStock, Dreamstime and Fotolia.
