Creating A Stock Photo Library
By Alt Channel teacher Justin Hackworth.
Sometimes you need to get that blog post up right away and don't have a lot of time to search for, or shoot, the perfect companion photograph. One way to fix this problem is to plan ahead and start creating your own stock photo library.
Start taking photos that might have a broad interest or could easily complement a variety of themes, even if you don't currently have a use for them.
Photograph things like clouds, backgrounds, textures, sunsets and other abstract images that can be used to illustrate a number of different ideas. Everyday objects, like old books, a typewriter, silverware, tools, and cameras can work as well.
For example, the image posted above could be used to illustrate anything: a winter holiday, the change of seasons, the natural world, peace, solitude, notifying readers you're on vacation, or a hundred different meanings that you could think of.
As you begin creating a significant number of images, the next challenge will be to catalog and categorize all of them so they can be found at a moment's notice. Read more about that right here.

New stock photos can be used for any moment and these photos can be essential for all photograph lovers. Further these photos can be kept and be used in a number of situations afterwards too. So the requirement is to know the situation with which one can derive the conclusion for the requirement of the exact photo in essential.
Sometimes people use the recent photographs, at that time the photograph is very essential for the people ,when it was very old people search for the photograph and can;t get it easily so for getting the old photographs many people take it stock together for getting easily.
