|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board For Photographers, the Image of a Shrinking Path David Harpe, Photographer Denver | CO | USA | Posted: 8:48 AM on 03.30.10 ->> http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/30/business/media/30photogs.html?src=me&ref=... "The quality of licensed imagery is virtually indistinguishable now from the quality of images they might commission,"Mr. Klein said. Yet "the price point that the client, or customer, is charged is a fraction of the price point which they would pay for a professional image."

It's just news to people who aren't photographers. The stinger in the ass with this is that with all the people struggling nationwide, a few hundred people will read this article, hone in on the "almost enough to make a mortgage payment" part and are going to start uploading photos to flickr at their first convenience, adding a few more hands pushing the boulder to the edge of the cliff. It's interesting when you go back 5-10 years and look at internet postings about the state of the industry. Back then about 1 in 100 were worried about the way things were heading... Now it's about 99 in 100. The remaining one is just trying to segue in to another sector of photography and ignoring the signs that that sector is on the on the verge of collapse as well.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

This quote: "The important thing that a photojournalist does is they know how to tell the story..." ...And the fact that: There are three threads on the same article but only one caught my attention enough to click the link. Apparently we can all tell a story but only 1 in 3 of us knows how to market it.  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (1) | Huh?
