Pictures for Rent

I think the development of stock photography is a relationship to how a lot of passionate things we have done has been turned into a market for the media to use on us. For example, almost everything that we have been doing for the passion has become part or is a business. Whether that be sports or art that is being used. It reminds me of how today researchers for companies try to find the ideal consumers want and advertise it as an image of the average consumer to sell to us. Get back to how stock photography was used initially as photography in an artistic sort of view until it got into to corporate, where it turned into mirror pictures of us as consumers to be used by advertising companies.
