A while ago I read an article in the paper about a website that you can
upload your photos to and people or businesses can then download the
pictures for a fee.

I normally would have scanned the article or
at least save the web addy but I haven't had
any luck finding it.

Anyone here know of this website, or one similar to it?

Truer words were never spoken.

BTW, another idea I had for getting my photos
'out there' is create a photo montage/collage(?)
using Windows Movie Maker and uploading it
to Youtube.

If you search Youtube for 'Natalie Wood' you'll find several of these
devoted to her. One is done pretty damn well. (I think they advertise
the software used at the beginning) That's what gave me the idea.

I have photos of the sunrise from Juno Beach,
Florida. That would make a pretty good series of photos to do this with.
I'm hoping that adding a music track to it isn't too difficult. (I
believe it's easier for photos than video, in WMM)
