Stock Photography

I occasionally post some of my images to stock photo sites, as a way to improve my photography, get more pictures out there, and just to see how it works. Well, I wanted to gather some statistics about that, so here it goes!

First of all, I'm currently working with 3 sites.

Tucson Zoo

Every now and then I make it to the Tucson zoo, and I always get some good shots when I go. This was the first time that I went with my 28x135mm lens, so I was able to get alot of cool shots I couldn't last time. It really makes a difference when you can zoom! Anyways, hope you enjoy!

Daily Photography in the Desert

As a bit of stress relief, excuse to get some exercise, and to work on my photography, I've been forcing myself to take a picture every day for the last week, and will continue this tradition. I'm posting the pictures at my album here. It's been an interesting adventure, and especially last night, I decided I just couldn't decide which picture to use. So, I'm going to post all of the pictures that would have made it, if I had used it another day. So, here's my "Almost Daylies". Oh, if you want quicker updates, follow @pearsonartphoto on twitter.
