During arrival at Tel Aviv Airport it can be that you're pre-checked for Security before reaching the boarder entry desk. They asking you what you're doing in Israel, your place to stay and something more. For your departure you should check in earlier than at other Airports. Lot of questioning and Security screenings. Avoid to take big batteries like the Quantum-stuff or similar with your hand-luggage. There's a good chance that you undergo an intense security monitoring and that you have to pull out every piece of equipment for an intense hand-control. It can be that part of your equipments

Payments from Alamy must be declared as a "Zusammenfassende Meldung" in your annual tax declaration. In this form you have to fill in the Alamy VAT_ID: GB ..... The payment itself must be in a seperate field in your tax declaration. Use "Anlage UR zur Umsatzsteuerklaerung". The Alamy amount should be filled into field "721" which is called "Nicht steuerbare sonstige Leistungen....". "Zusammenfassende Meldung" and "Anlage UR.." must have the same amount.

Are there any fellow New Zealand shooters here? Where to rent professional photo-gear (portable lightning kit) in the Area of Hamilton, 130 KM from Auckland? Should be a local dealer. Any tips? Recommondations? Thanks very much.

I do not want to take any advantage gained by this type of promotion for now and ever. I would like to have my collection complety removed from this type of "promos" if I'm being involved in financing it. I gave Alamy at the beginning of 2013 another 10%+ share. I cannot fund their "promos". I asked for some explanation, would be great to get one from Alamy. Thanks very much.

Yes.

I do not want my collection included in promos with discounts (from my share). For me there is no more financial space left, not a single Euro.

I would like to know please from what share the Alamy summer promo (see Alamy F****b**k-page) is being financed? Is it fully financed from Alamy's share? Or is Alamy reducing the already low fees per image again for a limited time for this promotion? Thanks for some explanation.

I've a solution for my case: Using the Advanced Search, typing in Myname plus the keyword. The resulting link displays all "myname+travel"-images. This very long URL shortend with tinyurl, then pasting it into my homepage link. Solved.

How does it work for you? I tried "myname+travel" in the search box but have no return of my images

I've the same problem with my different subjects but with one Pseudonym. I cannot link from my personal Homepage, sub-page "travel", just to my Alamy travel images. I.e.: "myname+travel" does not work anymore. That is really not helpful. It has worked for a long time without any problems and has forwarded visitors of my personal photographer-homepage directly to my Alamy Travel-images portfolio. Would be great if Alamy finds a solution other then linking to an entire collection with different subjects or to force the Visitor to use the Advanced Search box. Many thanks.

It was a sale via Alamy directly, no distributor fee. 50% commission.
