The online photo agency Demotix has just hit one million photos uploaded by 30,000 photographers since their launch in 2008. Techcrunch calls it proof that a crowd-sourced photo agency can work. Global Voices is a proud partner of Demotix since 2010, enjoying the extremely broad diversity of topics and locations.
