That's a good question. It's the stupid pictures of empty bus stops
and dead fish that sell for hundreds of dollars. You really never know
what is going to sell. The problem is that the amount of effort that
goes into every image with keywording and descriptions, as well as any
editing is wasted on what doesn't sell or sells for pennies.

Stock photography and wedding photography are two forms of abusive
relationships. You know he's going to come home drunk on a Saturday
night and beat the tar out of you, but you can't leave him.
