Interesting - reminds me of http://pbase.com/ is there a charge to join to archive photos?

Just out of curiosity how does this differ from the Big Daddy of stock phots(Getty Images)?

@Eileen - The starter version of the Archive with 50MB of storage is free. The other tiers have a fee
@Krishna - This competes directly with Getty. However, unlike Getty, at PhotoShelter, the photographers get to decide the prices of their photos (Getty determines it on their site). Getty is much hated in the industry since it pushes prices down a lot. While this may seem like a good thing, in the end, it is self-defeating: low prices mean that the photogs won't upload their best images and so buyers won't find the best images.
