I?m a chronic measurer.? I need to know how much, how long, how many, how can I?? I measure my speed editing weddings, I measure my speed editing a portrait shoot, I measure how many images we take vs. keep, how many we shoot at a portrait session vs. a stock session.? I measure EVERYTHING.? How long my cards take to DL, how long it takes LR to import them.? I can make better decisions if I have more information.

SO – one thing I have no information on is the question ?How many stock images can be edited, keyworded, uploaded & submitted in one 7 day period??

I?m going to find out.

In my ongoing research, I could not find a submitter who had contributed more than 1023 images in one month to Dreamstime (without having a preexisting large collection offline).? (IOFoto did 1023)? My goal is to come AS CLOSE to 1023 new images in the next 7 days as possible.? Keep in mind that there?s 2 of us – Sarah shoots.? I shoot, edit, keyword, upload & submit.? So I do have new images coming in everyday.? She shot some today, she has a 3 hour model shoot tomorrow & other ideas lined up all week.

The rules: Sunday May 25th, 12:00am until Saturday May 31st, 11:59pm.? No forums, no blogs, no IM, no email except twice a day (need to check on my clients), no anything but stock for 7 days.? Just to see what can be accomplished.? The goal: 1024 of course.?*laugh*

Serious goals:

under 200 = failure.
201 to 400 = acceptable range.
400-500 = great!
500+ = stunning & excellent!

Wish me luck – although unless you write in email or within the next 40 minutes, I won?t see it for a week!
