FlickR is killing the market........did you bother to asked just how much they made on the deal?

Blah, blah, blah...I got $500 for doing nothing. I took a photo for fun and someone paid me for it. I don't see the problem. It helped pay for my new Sigma 70-200 f2.8, which I need to shoot weddings for $100
And 12K is a stretch...maybe 2 or 3k. Yeah, I could've said "Pay me 3,000" and they could've given me the finger and walked. Instead, I got $500 in my account 3 hours after initial contact and got to keep the rights to my photo...I think 98% of the photographers on this forum would've done the same.
And if you think my photos are worth more than that, I'll gladly sell them all to you for a 5DMarkII
