So then the questions that need to be answered are:

2) How can you make money with a camera by dealing with photo stock agencies?
Today the incredible demand for quality images, makes it impossible for staff photographers to provide all or even a significant amount of all the images needed by publications or photo editors. As a result, photo editors, magazines and other publications have come to depend on stock photo agencies to obtain their images.
Photo stock agencies are image middle men who purchase or lease images (from anyone who provides quality images) and in turn sell them to photo editors or publications. The editors and publications pay the agencies who then pay the photographers.
The beauty of the system is that the photo agencies buy or lease images from anyone (you or me) who can provide quality images. These agencies don't care where the photographer lives, what equipment he owns, or anything else as long as the photos that they are buying are quality images.
