Passed $150 earnings mark on Shutterstock

Last month I had said that by the end of July I should be at around $150 if the rate of downloads held steady.

Well, it's only July 23, 2008, and I'm already at $151.35.
Today has been a good day with 19 downloads and 3 CD back-ups so far.

Someone, probably an entomologist has downloaded almost all of my cicada and katydid photos, such as the one below.



Things are glorious and I'm going to keep uploading.

Image of the Day (July 21, 2008)

I was absolutely tickled that this photo came out so well. When I viewed the exposure at 100%, the transparent tissue of the cicada's wings looked like thin, delicate glass. Thanks to Canon's marvelous sensor technology, I was able to capture this.
