Donna Hackett

I have recently noticed a fellow artist from Fine Art America named Donna Hackett. Donna is a creative photographer who resides in Summerfield, Florida. She has some fabulous fractalized photography which I find to be amazing. I'd like to share a few links here on this blog.

"As a photographer and artist, my desire is to share the beauty and wonder of the real Florida and God’s creations. I hope you enjoy my work.” Donna Hackett

Adobe Stock?

I'm not sure how I feel about this.
I am a part-time stock photographer, along with being a part-time fine art photog, part-time portrait photog, part-time graphic designer and part-time accounting professional. I don't like to see the "big guys" swallowing up the little guys (think WalMart). 

Do I submit my portfolio and hop on the bandwagon? Shutterstock has been good to me all these years. Dreamstime and Getty have been so-so. I am already a contributor to Fotolia, which Adobe purchased earlier this year.

Here are a few links for your consideration:

In all likelihood I will probably sit back and wait to see if there is a noticeable increase in downloads from my Fotolia library. That will be the determining factor.
