Not sure if this has progressed at all since July, I can see little evidence of it on Flickr other than the occasional rumour that surfaces. If it does happen, my concern would be that only those ‘popular’ (I use the term loosely) photographers will be selected – there are many many talented photographers on flickr (I’m not one of them) that get virtually no exposure (I am one of those), mainly due to the way in which flickr promotes users. The strong get stronger and sod the rest would be an apt moto at times.

It will be nice to see some hard working, talented and less known photographers getting a chance. I’m looking forward to see how it turns out.

Whatever happens it will be interesting to watch I know I’ll be keeping a close eye on it. Even the slightest chance of ending up with some images on Getty is worth the attention!

Is that the same Thomas Hawk who promised us that by sometime around now zoooooooomr would be the largest stock agency on the web?

Pros will not be bothered by amateurs jointing (sic) their ranks as long as the playing field is level. I will not share the joy implicit in your ‘finally’ until we find out whether Getty will be paying their flickr recruits the same rates as the ‘pros’.
