心中一阵不安升降机，因为我忽然又想起了那道剑光升降平台，可怕的剑光升降台，美丽的剑光登车桥。为什么那一剑是那么的美丽货架，却又那么的可怕呢集装袋？在我倒下之前我说地磅，好美的剑塑料托盘，好恨的剑塑料托盘。我倒下了仓储笼。在我失去知觉之前仓储笼，我听到他说北京货架，这叫艺术超市货架，剑的艺术北京货架。

　　我并没有死广州货架，原来我的心是在右边仓储货架，而是不是左边货架厂。所以在那穿胸一剑之下我并没有死南京货架。

　　是一阵暴雨把我冲醒了货架公司。听说雨是上天的眼泪深圳货架，也许这天又有人死在那美丽的剑光之下吧服装货架！我张开嘴巴托盘，任雨水打进我的嘴托盘，直冲我的胃塑料托盘。我的伤口又开始流血塑料托盘，但已经不痛了木托盘。试问：仓储笼一个心已经死了的人仓储笼，肉体上的疼痛又算得了什么呢仓储笼？我知道我的刀再练一百年也无法那么美丽仓储笼，那么恨托盘，而且永远别想杀了他托盘。

　　我退出江湖了手推车，我没有通知江湖上的朋友们静音手推车，并来一个什么金盆洗手静音手推车，因为我的朋友们差不多都被他杀了置物架。我悄悄的走了置物架，隐进了山林之中堆垛架。俨然一个世外高人的样子堆垛架，每天一壶绿茶登高车，放在身边的几上登高车，然后或盯着一朵白云超市手推车，或盯着一片树叶物流手推车，或双目紧闭物流台车。我的刀在玉盆中泡了七七四十九天角钢货架，已经没有血腥味了角钢货架。然后我把它放在我的屋顶轻型货架，任它风吹雨打轻型货架。

　　十年就这年过去了中型货架。为何今天天忽然想起那柄剑中型货架，那道剑光重型货架？而且内心为什么如此不安重型货架？不应该是这样的仓库货架，对于一个喝了十年绿茶的人来说服装货架，面对死上海货架，也已不再惧怕精品货架，不再不安苏州货架，但今天又为何如此呢托盘货架？

　　莫非是他青岛货架，和他的剑库房货架，加上他的剑光沈阳货架。我已不问江湖之事天津货架，想他十年前也应该坐上武林盟主的位子了杭州货架，一个武林中人做了武林盟主山东货架，这一生还有什么要求的呢文件柜？

　　我不停的喝着绿茶工具柜。绿茶静心工具柜。但此时怎么也静不下来零件柜。茶已尽工作台。平时茶尽之时工作台，正也是日落之时工作桌。

　　一定快有什么事情发生了工作桌。

　　剑还是那美丽的剑Google左侧排名，如果再加上一道剑光吹塑机，就会形成剑的艺术色带，武学的艺术电源插座。

　　我问反光背心：为何还来找我滚针轴承，我已在十年之前就退出江湖了夜光粉。

　　他说文化石：因为你没死缎带，因为我没有对手风火轮。

　　我说激光打标机：十年前已不是你的对手平衡机，何况现在十年未动刀大功率led。

　　他说磁力泵：放眼天下梯子，只有你一个人是我的对手网眼袋，也只你一个人对我的威胁无尘布。

　　我不再说话手摇手电筒，因为我不知道说什么手板，我知道我十年前就开始找我毛巾布，发现我没有死就开始找我磁钢。我不死促销台，他心不安模具钢材。

　　他说时尚配饰：拿出你的刀筛网。

　　我说齿轮泵：我已无刀天使花房，命托辊，亦可有可无色丁。

　　他盯着我广告衫，握剑的手越来越紧钢坯，我知道那道美丽的剑光可能随时发出过滤网。在那美丽过后疏水阀，我的生命将画上句号胸章。

　　阳光照在了刀上发热管，反射到他的脸上手机耳机。他发现了那把刀螺杆，我的刀插销，宝刀蝴蝶，没有鞘的刀工具包。

　　刀已在我手中点钞机，刀还是那把刀配电箱，人却已不是那个人流苏，因为心不是那颗心沙滩巾。

　　他为了杀我竟找了我十年氯化镁，而为了和我比武竟帮我从屋顶拿下我的刀来双面胶带，并放在我的手中碳纤维。我忽然发现排线，他也变了汽车座垫，他在后悔十年前将所有高手都杀绝珍珠奶茶。

　　高手的悲哀太阳伞。
　　我握紧了刀桥架，我看着他的眼tpr，已经不再像十年前那样明亮了钢丝。

　　他的剑划出柴油发电机组，划出一道美丽的剑光护栏。我想围栏，这十年他大概在不停地使自己的剑光更美围栏。

　　我的刀也出了隔离网。简单的动作隔离网，一刀刺进了他的胸网片。那道美丽的光忽然停止网片，停在我的衣服上南京货架。

　　他说北京货架：这也是艺术北京货架，杀人的艺术北京货架，想不到你十年不动刀还懂这个艺术仓储货架。

　　我说仓储货架：因为我不想再让你痛苦了广州货架。

　　他说广州货架：谢谢货架厂。

　　我走了货架公司。我头也不回的走了塑料托盘。没有取回我的刀塑料托盘，因为我觉得它在我身边已经没用塑料托盘，我后悔我十年前为什么不扔了它塑料托盘？我听到了尸体倒下的声音塑料托盘。我流泪了塑料托盘，我真的不想杀他仓储笼，十年前不想仓储笼，十年后也不想仓储笼，因为我下山时答应过师父仓储笼，一切让着他仓储笼。

　　我叹了一口气仓储笼。远去仓储笼。

agreed ... Flickr is already the largest repository and using Flickr images for stock means you are getting original images unlikely to have ever been used by anyone else as stock images.

So we built www.FlickrCash.com - a multi-parameter search interface for image buyers to search through very large numbers of Flickr images, save searches, drag and drop into shareable lightboxes.

2006-04-20T15:42:00.000-07:00

I too am a professional photograper and make most of my income from producing stock photography. The problem with the model you are envisioning is quality control. Most of my agents require a 50 mb 8-bit file since they never know what the client may use the image for. Now I understand that not everyone would need such large fies and that iamges on the web are very small but there have to be some standards involved and the average guy at flickr has no clue.

2006-04-12T06:56:00.000-07:00

There is nothing stopping any photographer from posting images on Flikr or Digital Railroad or any other photo database system, then marketing their work to publications who can search and buy. The main problem is getting publications to search your set of photos as opposed to other databases (like Corbis or Getty). The reason they go to Corbis or Getty is because they can trust in the consistency of the quality of the photography and because these agencies offer a wide range of photographic subjects. One-stop shopping.

It seems silly to write of Corbis or Getty like they are big evil giants preventing photographers from selling their work. If you want to sell your work then join Corbis or Getty. It's not that difficult to join if your photography is good enough. Or join some other smaller (but still effective) agency like Redux or Polaris. Or start your own agency and convince publications that you can provide a breadth of imagery with consistent high quality -- of course this is largely an issue of "branding," and you're shooting yourself in the foot (from a marketing point of view) if you associate your high-quality photography with the rabble that clutters Flikr.

Your post has the tone of advocating for photographers in the shadow of these big corporate agencies. Yet you argue for:
1. lowering the price of image licensing
2. promoting royalty free stock

As a photographer myself, I depend on licensing to make a living and do not wish to see standard pricing lowered. And royalty free is the most evil of all evils in licensing because it limits future sales potential.

Best of luck.

2006-03-10T16:39:00.000-08:00

The only issue would be the inconsistency of the images on Flickr. While certainly many are excellent, many are complete crap. Stock companies are very consistent. If you want a picture of a dog with a boy, there are 1000 good ones (by good ones, I mean flawless execution, perfect). Flickr on the other hand, may have 2 or 3 really good ones (publishable), a few dozen okay ones, with the rest being crap. It seems that most of the amateurs who post on Flickr believe that their photos are "pro-like," but in reality, they are not. It reminds me of the whole indie rock phenomenom, where these mediocre artists suddenly had the technology to record and release their own albums at minimal cost. As a result, the market has been flooded with album after album of crap. Could this be happening with photography?

Flickr Stock Photos? I would be the first to join in. I've got some experiences with a lot of picture agency but many of them just don't reach out to a great market. flickr is fresh and flickr is hype. So why shouldn't that work...

Actually, Thomas, this is, in a way, old news. For at least a year, small photo agencies, dubbed "microstocks" by the trade, have offered their royalty-free wares. Typically purchased for about $3 (yes, that's three dollars), buyers can use the images as many times as they want for whatever they want. Of course libel, copyright, and private property laws still apply.

2005-08-21T14:49:00.000-07:00

Why not?? I recently started publishing a photoblog on Flickr and have been humbled by the depth of talent and creativity among us non-pro camera junkies. How can the graphic arts industry overlook this motherlode of images?? There is every style and technique imaginable to access. The internet is doing what it does best: bringing the world into the grasp of a large community of grassroots talent that in a different time (not so very long ago) would never feel the warm exhilaration of recognition outside of their friends and family.

This seems to be getting more and more common, it just popped up on Ask MetaFilter again too.

2005-08-17T10:51:00.000-07:00

Seems like a good idea. However, I think the rights/releases issue may be substantial. If you buy images through a conventional stock agency, aren't you paying in part for the certainty that the seller owns the rights? But perhaps, as you suggest, this issue is not difficult to resolve.

Also, your comments raise a broader question of whether stock-photo searching on the Web via Google and other search engines might become more widespread if photographers began tagging their personal-website photos more systematically, perhaps with a "stockphoto" tag (in addition to the appropriate attributes: "bridge", "sunset", etc.). OTOH, Flickr's community rating system might add enough value to make it a go-to place for stock photography. Flickr should try it and see how it flies.
