Welcome to Out of Stock, Volume Seven! If you’re new to the site, here’s what’s going on:

Out of Stock asks creative people of all types to make something new based on a strange piece of stock photography. They can make anything. We publish it.

Volume Seven published in September 2016. For this issue, Joy Carletti guest edited, pulling together a roster of contributors from the Western US.
