Never in almost 3 years of doing microstock I got extended license sold on first day of the month. Also I am happy that for a first time it a photo of cake I made, strawberry tiramisu.

Strawberry Tiramisu
I think I am going to post translation of this recipe I got from knedlik.blox.pl.
Ingredients: 400 ml of sweetened condensed milk (I added about 200 ml), 500 g of mascarpone, 3 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1 large package of lady fingers biscuits, 3 / 4 kg of strawberries, juice of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons sugar, fruit vodka or plum brandy.

Wash strawberries, cut into quarters, add sugar and lemon juice, let stand for half an hour (at the time should come off strawberry juice). Mascarpone (taken out straight from the fridge) put into a bowl, add vanilla extract, whipped and fluffy. Gradually add condensed milk. Biscuits placed in a spring form pan, soak them in plenty of vodka. Put half the strawberries (with sauce), so half of the curd. Repeat these steps. Garnish with strawberries, or leave the cheese smooth. Put into the fridge for 8-10 hours.
I used apricot brandy instead of fruit vodka.

This is actually first time I able to sell video clip on Shutterstock. I got only 36 movies there so I has never took off for me. Maybe it’s a good sign. This time it is Pacific coast dusk at Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur, California.

Couple days ago I got site mail on Flickr informing me that Getty Images picked one of my photos. It was a photo from our vacations in Poland. I guess I will have to keep posting and see what happens.

I went for a trek to Wrangell-St. Elias National Park in Alaska in 2006 then when I started doing stock in 2008 I uploaded these to most microstock sites I am working with. Nature shots are not huge sellers on commercial sites so I happy to see extended license sold.

Wrangell-St. Elias National Park
Kennicott Glacier is a glacier in the U.S. state of Alaska. It trends southeast 43 km (27 mi) from Mount Blackburn to its terminus at the head of the Kennicott River in the Wrangell Mountains. It is located in the middle of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park near the small town of McCarthy, Alaska and the historic ghost town of Kennecott, Alaska.
It was named in 1899 by Rohn of the United States Geological Survey for Robert Kennicott, pioneer Alaska explorer and director of the scientific corps of the Western Union Telegraph Expedition in 1865.
