Appendix C. Photo Credits
David Pogue took most of the photos in this book.
This list credits the others. They include contributions from this book's photo editor, Tim Geaney, as well as the treasure trove known as iStockPhoto.com.
iStockPhoto is a a massive, instantly searchable catalog of millions of beautiful photos. When people need photos for their newsletters, ads, brochures, Web sites, magazines, newspaper layouts, books on digital photography, and so on, they can download and use these images, royalty-free. A typical high-res photo might cost $3 or $5, which is a fraction of what you'd pay to a commercial stock company.
(And where do these millions of pictures come from? That's the best part: you. Anyone, professional or amateur, can upload photos to iStockPhoto.com's catalog and start making money from them while they sleep. There is an application and screening process, however.)
