Monday, April 5, 2010

Just heard this from a large buyer in the e-learning field "You know one thing eLearning people complain about is that stock photo sites usually are filled with people smiling at the camera in that silly way that no one really does at work. It would be great to encourage photographers to take real pictures of real people working rather than facing the camera and smiling."
