Woohoo! I still only have 179 photos online, so I didn't expect to see any sales for a while...so this is pretty exciting! Blog size RF for $68. :-D

Congratulations!

I hope to be soon in the same position. I have had enough of microstock sites and would like to contribute to midstock sites only, if they start selling for me as well.

That's excellent, wish many more for you. Did they email you or did you find out yourself?

They don't send me email notices anymore after uploading and passing QC. But I don't mind because their review time has become very fast.

Same here. I guess it's the new way.

I just found it...but then again, I haven't checked my e-mail for a few days, so I don't know if they e-mailed or not.

Congrats. I don't think they send emails about sales. I have about 60 there so far but keep checking to see if I have sold one.

I was doing a search today and found that Yuri Arcus has his portfolio on alamy. It seems to be the same images as the micros. I just don't see how having the same images on both will work in the long run. I am sticking to keeping the two separate.

Haha! What a crazy day! Hoards of photographers trying to get studio shots in a friend's dining room, and me with my broken ankle trying desperately not to get stepped on. I finally flopped on the floor, because there was nothing else to do, and modeled my foot. Cphoto (Christophe) has a pretty funny shot of me laying there in this ghastly "sexy" pose.
