Hi, I was wondering if anyone used a sort of self-built database (in Access or something) to record which photos they've submitted to a stock agency, which agency, when submitted, why rejected (!) etc, etc. I suppose there might be a way to utilise functions in existing photo software, or have a...

Dare I say it? .... Digital Camera!

I recently bought a photo mag, the first for years, in the hope that I would be inspired by some of the contributors. After I got over the shock of the price, I was quite disappointed with the content. 95% of the images appeared to be so manipulated and post-processed as to lose any sense of...
