- whichIsFunny 8y agoSomehow, I think most stock images are crafted from a position or vantage point of objectively stupid cluelessness. No matter the discipline depicted in stock photos and clip art, it always conveys a total detachment of context, campy corny sentiment and general lack of expertise. Not so much by accident, but by virtue of catering to clientelle disinterested in accuracy, and with the awareness that all participants (both buyers and sellers) are motivated to reduce costs at all levels of the creative process.
