I was just on a photographer forum, this dude is a photographer, he picked up the new issue of TIME Magazine - one of his photos is the entire cover. They licensed it from iStockPhoto.com ............ for 30 dollars.

Do you have any idea what just a few years ago TIME magazine would have had to pay a stock photo agency or to hire a photographer to shoot the shot they wanted for their cover - over $10,000

30 dollars
