On The Cover
This month we are providing a reality check on the state of the photo stock market as pros reveal the winners and losers, and how to smartly play the game. We hope their thought-provoking ideas will help you evaluate your own situation when contemplating joining the stock fray. And if you are considering turning pro, be sure to read the Photographer’s Survival Manual; read an excerpt from this book on page 160. Aside from our business tips, we have tests on the latest and greatest gear.
