Still looking for other possible streams of income, I decided to try creating a site for Jewish stock photos. Although there were a lot of big stock photo sites, finding good Jewish-content images was difficult — and, as my graphic designer son told me, there are designers working for Jewish organizations that need such images.
My concept was not just to try to shoot tons of Jewish content photos, but to invite other photographers to submit their stock images to the site and to take a small percentage of their sales as well.
So I built the site, shot a bunch of images, and actually got about a dozen photographers to contribute images. I didn’t charge much, and sales were very slow. Don’t remember why, but after about a year or so I lost interest and eventually shut it down.
Searching the web archives, I found some site snapshots (mostly missing the images)… just to give an idea of what it looked like.
