Yesterday I received a marketing email from an eyeglass company that proclaimed, “Join the Conversation.” This was followed by three social media icons for Facebook, Twitter and Google+.

Looking for Stock Photography? Try Solid Stock Art

July 31, 2014/0 Comments/in Blog, Coupons/Promotions/by Colleen Eakins

About a year ago, I was digitally approached by Taylor Hinton, CEO of Solid Stock Art, to try out his new stock photography site.
