To summ it up, Digital photography has killed the Pro Photog. I saw this coming when it first came out, so i didn't quit my other job which was the
original plan.

Basically people are buying affordable Cameras, and printers, and scaners to
do there own work. People getting married who need to be cheap due to the
econmy have a friend do it or hire Joe Blow who is willing to do it for $300.

I've had people, mostly H.S. Seniors scan their photos so they can make all
the wallets they want. Its gotten worse with the high cost of living.

Were a family of three, and need a 3 job income to stay alive.

Yeah PM is in a tough boat, its all out of his control, hang in there buddy!

TRDG did you ever see that documentary about Wally World?, it will open your
eyes. That family isn't interested at all in their employies so it doesn't surprise
me that Corp isn't helping you. I used to sell to them, never again.
