Now I have ton of pics lying around with no real theme. I'd like to maybe set up a small site selling niche created stock photos. I don't have 1000's of pics per category. (mostly abstract, and some nature stuff) So what I'd like to do is set up to take outdoor shots. Some closeup nature, some landscapes, as well as some abstract shit like close ups of keyboards, monitors, computer parts... for corporate type newsletters... or whatever. But is it worth it? I mean I enjoy taking the photos, but is a small stock photo business like that worth the time to categorize and set up a site and maintain it? I've never done mainstream so I'm not even sure if the marketing is the same.
