Top Ten Selling Images of 2009

The most viewed images on my websites were not necessarily the ones that sold the most, either as prints or as licensed images.

The following list shows the best selling stock images of 2009. The emphasis on renewable energy boosted sales of images of solar panels last year, and the PBS special on the National Park System boosted sales of images of Hetch Hetchy valley in Yosemite National Park. Otherwise, image sales followed my strengths of landscapes and photos of Sacramento.
