Well... I'm an Art Director in my early thirties and as a dayjob I work for Advertising Agency. On my free time a do a lot of photography and shoot some video as well. I've also done some animating in Autodesk Combustion. Sometimes I play with the idea of paying the bills without a 9 to 5 job, doing photography and video work. I see stock photography and video as a good way to train myself and hopefully also earn some money in the process.
