Just because it can…..

Just because it can…..

After years of uploading my images to stock agencies I grabbed the opportunity to start my own stock site.

In 2010 I was utterly fed up with the way I felt treated by those agencies.
I contributed to a couple of agencies and later on I decided that it may be better to be an exclusive at a big stock company.  I am not naming which one as that is not my style. All went very nice until roughly 2010 when the management decided that the contributors weren’t important any more and didn’t fit in the core-business they were running, or something like that. They decided to lower the fees for us, came up with difficult schemes and payment plans, Royalty Rates, redeemed credits, etc, etc.
They also decided to make the site really slow, give bad search results, etc, etc.
That made me loose my motivation so much that I completely stopped contributing in 2010.

Just a couple of weeks ago I read on a site of a fellow contributor, who seemed pretty fed up with the same agency, about Symbiostock. Those couple of lines brought me back to stock, but then as a member of the Symbiostock Network. Within a day I started building this site and 3 weeks ago I started to upload my images to my own Stock agency 🙂 It may take a long time before I get the same results but now I have it all in my own hands and am not led by the mood of a stock agency. That is such a good feeling!

So happy with the results so far but this is only a start of more to come. I am slowly, but steady, uploading my images, have so much on my hard disk. Later on I am going to upload 3D models I made with Blender.

Why? Gewoon, omdat het kan! Just because it can!
