I?ve always thought like a businessman, which is why I have never sold
through stock sites. Tina spent a huge sum of money to go to Iran; the
trip probably cost her more than $10,000! How many photos does she have to
sell at $2 each to pay for that, and that?s not even counting the cost of
her equipment, and the fact that she has to pay for the costs of living
too.
