Nothing says serious business more than a photo of strangers drawing nothing at all to do with your idea on a whiteboard.

Or an empty notebook.

Is this picture kinda (really) scary, or is it just me?

It's the same picture over and over again.

Ah, yes. The essentials of any business. Phones, macs, white-boards, drawing pads and close-ups of all of these things in offices, coffee shops and probably Brooklyn.

Drinking fancy coffee's and doing a whole buncha nothing. Yep, that's pretty accurate.

I really like this one for stock photos that don't suck: http://unsplash.com

and it's not just creepy kids or only mac products and moleskines with grids.

Still better than iStock

anybody remember the other stock blogs mentioned on DN?

Snapwi.re is a really great place to get professional stock photos for very cheap. Awesome business model. I had some experience with testing their site early on and I have to say, it is one of the best stock photo purchasing sites I have ever encountered.

These things are taking over. Sure you CAN take a lot of photos of your mac and iPhone and put them on the web, but SHOULD you really?

Don't forget the mandatory VSCO preset treatment that makes the picture really useful for retouching...not. wipes glasses ah shucks the haze is still there.

I wonder if these come with signed model release forms...
