Death by Blogging
If I felt any nagging guilt about neglecting this blog (and oh, yes I have!), it has vanished after reading the following article in the New York Times by Matt Richtel. It seems that blogging can be very, very bad for your waistline, your blood pressure and your health, and if you take it too seriously, it can even lead to your demise!
In Web World of 24 Hour Stress, Writers Blog Till They Drop
I hardly need to fear death by blogging myself. My larger addiction is to RSS feeds. The list is growing, and it takes more and more guilty time out of my day to scroll through them all. Stock and photography in general is rarely discussed in newspapers and everyday reading materials, and I have no real peers to discuss the subject with, so I depend more and more on my RSS feeds to stay in touch with trends, equipment and techniques.
Now, to bring this post back to the subject of stock photography, I will depart with a link that was in my RSS feeds this morning by Debra Wagner on Blackstar Rising. At the moment, I am a Royalty-Free only contributor, but Debra gives 11 compelling reasons for buyers to go Rights Managed.

A fine excuse Pixart! Might use that one myself.
Indeed, I can offer evidence to the contrary as my blog has empowered my current lifestyle where I jog every second day and no longer need a day job. Well, not *only* my blog, my photos as well.
But I can certainly relate to working late into the night (but that's when I work best!) and feelings of guilt if I go a day (and occasionally MUCH longer) without posting. Nice pickup.

Lee - I like your use of the word "empowered" and btw, you do have one of the BEST blogs. Good for you for blogging, shooting and jogging!
