- NEW Age FotoStock - Online stock photo agency with offices in Barcelona, Madrid and New York with distribution in over 60 countries through a network of sub-agencies.  No minimum number of photos required in order to work with them.  Photographer earns 50% of gross sales price.  Also, look at the photographer's page in the "What do you get?" section for a list of their agents in Europe and worldwide.

- NEW Fotomobil is another online stock photo agency based in Spain.  Their website is a bit difficult to navigate and it requires that you load what looks like a JavaScript control before you can upload your photos. If you decide to take a serious look at Fotomobile, keep in mind that the customer's search is based on the Title and Description of your album. 

- Photo Agencies - A list of agencies that regulary publish photographs in magazines globally.  Includes links to the agencies web pages.

- Yahoo Photography Agencies - A list of links to dozens of photography agencies.

- WfE Easy Travel Photography Guide - If you can illustrate your travel article you gain in two ways.  First, your product is more attractive thus more easily sold and second, you earn money for the text and the photographs!  The good news is that photography requres the same basic skills that you already employ as a successful travel writer. *****
