Er, iStockPhoto's a local Calgary company, and by no stretch of the
imagination would I call it "big." More like "entrepreneurial startup."
And while some here on the List might sneer at such an effort, it's
been truly helpful to some commercial photography startups --
particularly in the former Communist Bloc countries -- in establishing
themselves. Here's a good example:

Much the same way that Renderosity or DAZ (for 3D artists and modelers)
have helped many otherwise ordinary folk bust into the world of high-end
3D modeling.
I've never contributed anything to iStockPhoto, but that's only because
I don't think my images are anywhere near good enough. (I *have*
contributed some free 3D models to PoserPros, though...)
