In the impulsive 90's, probably picking up on this research, Kodak announced that it had swollen and bought The Image Bank. Bill Gates stepped in forming his Corbis agency, and next on came Mark Getty whose Getty Images at the moment is the top dog in the commercial enterprise.

And what of the idiosyncratic photographer who doesn't fastidiousness to join forces next to this scheme? Not to dwell on. There will e'er be a want for satisfactory article photography, by publications that cannot afford, or don't want, the contrived aspect of combined farm animals pictorial representation.
