| NEWSLETTER - DECEMBER 2003 |
| Well, it's the end of another year, and it certainly has been a momentous one for Photographers Direct. We now have well over 2,000 professional photographers from 70 countries registered on the service and close to 100,000 images online. Our photographers seem hugely supportive - finally they have a fast and easy way to deal direct with picture buyers and receive a decent return on their images. And we have more things planned for the New Year, particularly some great (and free!) services for picture buyers - stay tuned for details! Best regards, Chris Barton Photographers Direct - Fair Trade Photography. |

StockShot Adventure Sports Library has just published its new 2004 calendars. The range includes two wall calendars, StockShot 2004 Ski Calendar, StockShot 2004 Snowboard Calendar and a smaller CD size Adventure Sports 2004 desk calendar.

John T. Fowler is a well-rounded stock photographer living close by Canada's capital city, Ottawa. Nearest thing to a "specialty" would be his insect photos, particularly butterfly images (The Butterflies of Canada, ISBN 0-8020-0898-4). In addition to much field imagery, John has copy stand images of every butterfly ever recorded in Canada, together with many tropical species and ready access to some of the largest lepidoptera collections in the country. Of late John has focused on conceptual imagery of butterflies - building on the contrasts of beauty/metamorphosis and fragility/strength of these iconic creatures. His images are often seen in advertising, education and editorial uses.
