Since 1977, this book that serves as a directory of stock photographers, has been used by over 25,000 picture editors. Listings are still free to photographers, and now it's on the web at http://www.stockphotodeskbook.com. You can search by category, source, zip code, and there are also interactive pages. You can add or update your listing on-line. The more places you can be found, the easier it is for photo editors to find you. (Hint: If you're listed as Herman Munster Photography, you'll be put in the H's and not the M's.)

That's the fear with the latest news that WorldCom is trying to buy out MCI. If they succeed, WorldCom would then control more than 60% of all U.S. traffic on the Internet, and a goodly portion of international traffic as well. With that kind of clout and their profit motivations, flat-rate pricing could become a thing of the past. Future pricing schemes could be based on length of call, bytes transferred, and even the rate of transfer (higher-speed connections would pay more, even if the actual connection speed was lower). There are still some hurdles and hoops for WorldCom to pass through, but they do seem determined to be king of the hill.
