I can't decide...are we saying this is bad or good to use these images in such a wide array of ads

I've gotten into the stock photography side of the print ad biz...but I hope I never see myself randomly all over the internet! Certainly the photographer I work with would agree. I'm definitely never going to have anything to do with .com stock companies!!

While I respect your views...I don't find them realistic in the world of stock photography.  So many photographers and models alike have a weird view of how to make it in this very competitive business.

If you are just in it for the fun that's different.  However NO agencies is going to go along with the restrictions some people what to place on images.

The full time guys are trying to make a living, not fall back on another imcome.

There is money and lots of it to be made, you just have to know how this business works.

On another note...I would love to shoot with you in a Equestrian setting.
