thank you Emily
found some excellent resources from your reply: http://www.stockartistsalliance.org/ http://www.stockartists.com/
an excellent white paper report on rights managed vs. royalty free, and the impact on photographers, and the image industry http://www.stockartistsalliance.org/PDF_Docs/SAA_StockLicensingModels.pdf gives me much to think about.
much appreciated, mark www.stills.com

Hundreds of photographers are using the web to license usage of their photos directly instead of through the few surviving agencies. There's a whole discussion list on yahoo devoted to stock photography from which you could learn a lot before you reinvent a wheel already in use by hundreds of people.
There's a professional society for stock photography artists called the Stock Artists' Alliance which is very active in promoting education and the work of its members.
Check them out.
