I have several thousand photos in with Alamy and regularly license images on my own -- but Getty will pimp the hell out of your photos, especially the RM photos. The Flickr invites are strictly for commercial collection work, too -- so having your RM work pushed by Getty to commercial clients could mean some serious $$$. Hell yes.

Haven't decided if I'll take it yet. (There's not an undecided option in your poll.) I really agree with Jim's position, but most of the photos of mine they selected aren't ones that I would ever think to market myself. As a matter of fact, many of them are a couple years old and not I don't particularly like them anymore (I guess I've moved on creatively), so I may submit them just to see what happens.

I removed most of my 15 or so pictures from Flickr a while back because I didn't like how others said their photos were being exploited. Also, the exclusivity clause really sucks. I inquired with Age / Fotostock a couple years ago but ultimately declined to submit due to the same reason.

There are some photos I have on flickr which I feel might have <i>some</i> possible saleability at a later date, so for those I'd have to think carefully. At this point though I'm just shooting for fun and some more money for 4x5 film wouldn't go astray! I have read Jim's post<a href="http://www.jmg-galleries.com/blog/2009/01/22/flickr-collection-on-getty-why-im-not-taking-part/" rel="nofollow"></a> and I'm following the discussion in the flickr group so I'm well versed at this stage of the implications of participating, and I'm still prepared to accept if I get given the opportunity.
