istockphoto Goes the Way of the Dodo

It seems like any industry has those moments of wondering who owns who (whom?). There is no difference in this world of making things pretty, which leads us to istockphoto, one of the semi-bigger indepedent stock houses, which has just this week been snatched up by the “we have photos of everything, even you and everyone you’ve ever met” powerhouse, Getty Images. We never really had much run-in with istockphoto, because we usually did head right toward the three ton gorillas, but we were familiar with their ads and the name.
