Stock Asylum reported on our recent decision to stop using the Picture Arts Web site(s) in favor of having PA buyers using our fast developing jupiterimages site.

Rather than elaborate on our decision making process on this move, read the above link. The story includes comments from Picture Arts founder and stock photo luminary Jeff Burke. Burke lays out our strategy and future plans.

Jeff has been an incredible bulwark since coming to Jupiterimages. We make few moves without checking with Jeff. Having a person like Jeff is a tremendous advantage for Jupiterimages. You can bet that if Jeff was willing to drop the PA sites that our strategy is on the mark. I can tell you that traffic at Jupiterimages.com is building - a sure sign that sophisticated picture buyers know that Jupiterimages is now a commercial image powerhouse.
