The other day Rob Haggart at aphotoeditor.com had a post that basically came down to the simple fact that “good ain’t cheap.” I’m now in my 15th year of being a professional in this business and this seems to be an ongoing theme. I’ve never worked in any other industry so my frame of reference is limited. But put 10 photographers in a room with beer and you’re most likely to get a bitch fest about how bad things are right now. It was like that in 1995 when I started and from what my mentors have told me, it was like that in 1980 when they started. It all comes down to this. Do it right, or do something else.
