I regularly use photobox to print my photos and i have just found out that you can "sell" your photos to others. This may be of some interest to tpunkers to make a few bucks from your memories of your trip for more info click here

There's also http://istockphoto.com/
Photos typically sell for $1-$10, and you get a cut. Not bad if you have some general stuff you don't mind whoring out

Well I sent in 3 photos to become a "photographer" for istockphoto.com. I am still waiting to see if they like my work. I will post my results once I get them. This could be really good for us travelers if it works out!

Heh.. I had my Whistler photo set up on Flickr and some company contacted me asking to use one of the photos for a TV show about snowboarding. No money, but still pretty cool

Dude, When NaranjaBlue was created (in like one night) had to buy around 300$ in vectors and pics like that over istock. I'm not saying I've gotten any money from them but I know they are atleast into sucking the hell out of my credits. Oh and yeah we bought like 200$ in orange images and anything citrus-like.

My photos got nixed due to "compression". I have turn my cam all the way up now (thought I did that already...apparently not) and I will send 3 more to see if any get thru. I will keep you guys posted.

I will never deal with istockphoto...they are assholes.
I sent in 3 new photos. They said one is ok and 2 are not. 1 was sort of blurry (thats my fault, I am using a laptop and sometimes cannot tell) and one had a "distracting shadow."
So I resubmit 2 new photos (you need 3 approvals to become a "photographer" for them). They were of the same *subject* as the original 2 but OBVIOUSLY not the same exact ones. They claimed they were the same.
I, in turn, sent an email asking them to have someone "competent review my file before blindly assuming I sent the same photos."
They replied and I quote:
--begin email--
"Please have a competent person review my file."
All of our Inspectors are competent.
Thank you for you kind comments.
Regards,
Scout
--end email--
They obviosuly weren't competent enough to proofread their emails before sending and I sent a reply stating that fact. it should be "your comment" not "you comments" since they quoted only one comment in the response...and using "you" is completely wrong here.
I may have been out of line with the "competent" comment but that reply is no way to run a business from a customer service point of view. In some of my past jobs if I sent out something like this I would have been canned immediately.
I, for one, will never do business with them...ever.
Whether you guy agree or disagree with me I wanted everyone to see how I was treated.

Ya know, I looked into them after reading this post and was shocked that anyone would sell their photos for a 20% cut from their OWN photo! I have spent a lot of time rearranging and working on some great shots - there's no way in hell I'd whore those out for .20c.

Well i guess if you were really desperate for money it wouldnt be a bad thing, but their probably making way more money of those photos than they let on. You'd be better off making a stand and selling them yourself i think.
