It's been many years since I haven't gotten a monthly check from Alamy.
The limit for sending a check used to be $125. It is a full-time job,
though, working all day at the computer.  Since I finished editing my
Vietnam photos a couple of weeks ago, I have keyworded and uploaded 170,
130 more are pending and I have 2000 more to keyword..  I hope they sell as
well as China but I doubt it!

Stock photography is not what it used to be when I started in 1980!
