In honor of my cold, increasingly high fever, and Rob Haggart's post on keywords, I've decided to resort to searching for illness-applicable PhotoShelter imagery. I chose an inane search term: "sniffle". Turns out this is a poor term for my purposes, because it can also be a synonym for "sniff". And even if it isn't, it generally turns up few results. But I sort of like the ones I got.

An excerpt from Rob's post:
- "Ok, this might be helpful: A good trick I've learned is to just drop in
and browse (I call this trolling... as in trolling for sharks) with a
couple keywords then when you find an photo you like, check and see
what keywords they're using and use those to head down that path to see
where it leads. Another technique I use is to start with the most
constrictive set of keywords first (zero hits is the goal) and then
start backing out till the results are too much then head back in to
the sweet spot and do a search."
